I only wanted to sing. Never to act. But somehow, thanks to peculiar circumstances, I was persuaded to act in the movies. I hated every moment of it and tried virtually every trick to get out of it.

The reason why I could get into acting was because it takes nothing to get out of who I am and go into somebody else.

I don't need interesting camera angles, I am interesting.

Brunettes are troublemakers. They're worse than the Jews.

The kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!
