I should have been smart enough to stay happy. But my ambition ruled my life.
After all the work I've done, why should I suddenly be treated as a bona fide actress?
East Hampton happens to have been the first place in the world where I was a star, a real star with a star pasted above my name on the dressing-room door.
I learned early that you only have so much energy to give. You have to spend it correctly.
There was no way I could live in Hollywood and not become an actress.
I made up my mind to be an actress when I was 4 years old.
My first husband, yes, I eloped with him from Hungary against my mother's wishes.
I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn't be saying it, but it slipped out!
I'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.
I'm acting when I serve as a hostess, when I run my wig business. I was born to act, and life itself is the greatest part.
I've always known I would be a success, but I was surprised at the way it came.
It's sheer torture. I have to be up with the chickens every day and go to work on my body. I hate it, but I do it.
Love is a game that two can play and both win.
Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once.
Most people don't need to work as hard as I do.
