This is where I have wasted the best years of my life.
If only those who dream about Hollywood knew how difficult it all is.
Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them.
I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.
Perhaps it's better if I live in your heart, where the world can't see me. If I'm dead, there will be no stain on our love.
I'm a completely worthless woman and no man should risk his life for me.
If you’re going to die on screen, you’ve got to be strong and in good health.
Gimme a visky with a ginger ale on the side - and don't be stinchy, beby.
I'm tired and nervous and I'm in America. Here you don't know that you live.
I always wanted to do my best. I got nothing free—I had to work hard.
Being a movie star, and this applies to all of them, means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace, you're just fair game.
It's midnight. One half of Paris is making love to the other half.
