In leaving Hollywood and coming to New York, I feel I can be more myself. After all, if I can't be myself, what's the good of being anything at all?

Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played. Hollywood created a superstar, and pain was the price you paid.

In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are.
