I don't know if high society is different in other cities, but in Hollywood, important people can't stand to be invited someplace that isn't full of other important people. They don't mind a few unfamous people being present because they make good listeners.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.

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?

I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyor belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.

Before you Judge me, Try hard to Love me.

No one should judge what I've done with my life, not unless they've been in my shoes every horrible day and every sleepless night.
