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

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.

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.

I knew Rita Hayworth only enough to know that she was just a tender, sensitive, beautiful human being. A lovely person. Very gentle. She would never stand up for her rights.

Be so good they can't ignore you.

We have earned our peace. It is, by now, more precious than honor, or even pity.

I pursued education not instead of being a good mother, but because being a good mother required that I build a better life for my family.

No matter what looms ahead if you can eat today enjoy the sunlight today mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it.

Freedom is knowing who you really are.

You can't help the poor by being one of them.

Mankind, why do ye set your hearts on things That, of necessity, may not be shared?

Truth is something we discover by carrying it out. It is not a list of statements, but a direction of life.

The sense is always that community is natural to people.

It's better to copulate than not.
