I approached everything, my job, my family, my romances, with intensity.

Trying to make order out of my life was like trying to pick up a jellyfish.

Throughout my career, I was to be cast as a frontier girl, an aristocrat, an Arabian, a Eurasian, a Polynesian, and a Chinese.

I suppose life is a little like that, isn't it, a message in a bottle pitched out to sea, to be carried by the winds and the tides, washing up on the beaches we could never imagine.

When I met Jack Kennedy, he was a serious young man with a dream. He was not a womanizer, not as I understood the term.

In the months leading up to World War II, there was a tendency among many Americans to talk absently about the trouble in Europe. Nothing that happened an ocean away seemed very threatening.

When my mood was high, I seemed normal, even buoyant. I felt smarter. I had secrets. I could see God in a light bulb

I admire anyone who rids himself of an addiction.

A romantic, I think, picks the rose and is careless with the thorn.

The things we ignore often come back to us in our sleep.

Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful.

Life gives us problems not to break us but to test our strength!

When you spent your time, you are actually spending your life.

The sun had just slipped behind the trees and evening cast its dark, smoky shadow.

There are men who are happy without knowing it.

It's just strange to think about...whether I'll be an artist or what I'll be doing.

I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera 'Melrose Place.'

Once I turned pro, so to speak, I put away childish things forever.

I designed collections around whatever struck my fancy ... fruits, vegetables, politics, or peacocks!

He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.

The road to success is always under construction. It is a progressive course, not an end to be reached.
