I don't want to play sex roles any more. I'm tired of being known as the girl with the shape.

An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?

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.

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.

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?
