It Might Be A Kind Of Relief To Be Finished. You Have To Start All Over Again. But I Believe You’re Always As Good As Your Potential. I Now Live In My Work And In A Few Relationships With The Few People I Can Really Count On. Fame Will Go By, And, So Long, I’ve Had You Fame. If It Goes By, I’ve Always Known It Was Fickle.

Some Of My Foster Families Used To Send Me To The Movies To Get Me Out Of The House And There I'd Sit All Day And Way Into The Night.

This Industry Should Behave Like A Mother Whose Child Has Just Run Out In Front Of A Car. But Instead Of Clasping The Child To Them, They Start Punishing The Child. Like You Don't Dare Get A Cold. How Dare You Get A Cold! I Mean, The Executives Can Get Colds And Stay Home Forever And Phone It In, But How Dare You, The Actor, Get A Cold Or A Virus. You Know, No One Feels Worse Than The One Who's Sick. I Sometimes Wish, Gee, I Wish They Had To Act A Comedy With A Temperature And A Virus Infection.

I Have Too Many Fantasies To Be A Housewife. I Guess I Am A Fantasy.

Hollywood Parties Not Only Confuse Me, But They Often Disillusion Me. The Disillusion Comes When I Meet A Movie Star I’ve Been Admiring Since Childhood.

I’ve Often Stood Silent At A Party For Hours Listening To My Movie Idols Turn Into Dull And Little People.
