• There is no personal achievement in being born beautiful.
• Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home.
• I learned you have to fight for yourself in the picture business.
• As an actress, emotions are my business, my stock-in-trade. As such, I've dealt with them nearly all my life.
• I'm grateful to God for His bountiful gifts... He gave me courage and faith in myself.

• I can't imagine dating a boy, meeting him only outside the home. What's a home and family for if it's not the center of one's life?
• I've always been scared to death of pain - afraid, even, to think of it.
• In my dreams, I could be a Princess, and that's what I was. Like most little girls, I believed nothing less than a Prince could make my dreams come true.
• In common with many others in the varied branches of our profession, my academic education is subnormal.
