For every answer, I like to bring up a question. Maybe I'm related to Alfred Hitchcock or maybe I got to know him too well, but I think life should be that way.

I don't think you want to give all the answers, but I think every answer you do give should bring up another question, and not all questions should be answered.

I didn't want to start relying on what someone else thought was right. It was easier to go away all together.

I always felt Jimmy was trapped in Hollywood. He felt it himself. He loved aviation so much and he wanted to be able to do more of that. He somehow just got stuck here.

I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful.

I was always opinionated.

If you want to live on the edge of life, you need to be flexible.

If you're wanting glamorous or really beautiful or really sexy, well then, I wasn't really the one, but I could do all of that. You could just get really lost in that kind of image.

So, Hitchcock wouldn't say anything about my work in the movie but, on the other hand, he wouldn't complain, either.

I live way out in the country, so there's not a lot of people around to remind me. And my friends don't think of me as 'Kim Novak' anymore anyway. It's like they forgot, too. And so it's nice.

Harry Cohn did not make me. But I also feel that I probably didn't make me, either. I think it was a combination. I think that's what made it work.

Hate was the blazing beauty that consumed the world in its flames. Love could never consume anything but the heart of a fool.

A red leaf danced from a branch like a dropping flame, down into the calm blue lake. A gust had broken it free. There was a cold bite in the wind. It was now deep autumn in the mountains.

The condition of women in a nation is the real measure of its progress.

Most women don't want to take the time to figure out their style. It's okay to experiment a little bit, but don't get too far from what looks good on you.

I view the end of the geographical feat as the beginning of the missionary enterprise.

The advice I would give to someone is to not take anyone’s advice.

It wasn't about believing this or that, it wasn't even about good and evil and right and wrong, it was about finding the strength to bear the discomfort that came with being in the world.

All women are rebels.

The name Roosevelt has this legendary force in our country at this time.

Of course design is about problem solving, but I cannot resist adding something personal.
