It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.

Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don't feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.

I think that sexuality is only attractive when it's natural and spontaneous.

I am alone; I am always alone no matter what.

A strong man doesn't have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn't match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world.

Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

You know, most people really don't know me.

A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night.

A smart girl leaves before she is left.

Dogs never bite me - just humans.

I like to feel blonde all over.

What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.

Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience, but that's not where I live.

I've never dropped anyone I believed in.

A woman knows by intuition, or instinct, what is best for herself.

I remember when I was in high school I didn't have a new dress for each special occasion. The girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. The boys, however, never bothered with the subject. They were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.

We should all start to live before we get too old.

I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that's not easy.

I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't.

The truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.

I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.

Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.

If I'm a star, then the people made me a star.

I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.

I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.
