It’s up to each person’s parents whether they think it’s too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.

I just imagined I was four miles from help and, well, you’d scream too if you just imagined that situation with that monster up there!

Life and death. They are somehow sweetly and beautifully mixed, but I don’t know how.

Sunset Boulevard opened in August 1950, and it was pronounced the best movie ever made about Hollywood.

Hopefully, I’ll just get to be part of good films and work with good people, and that’s how it will develop.

Daytime has been successful all these years because it caters to a very real need in the audience – to see something that’s not nighttime fantasy. People watch daytime because it’s like their lives.

My mother killed herself when I was 12. I won’t complete that relationship. But I can try to understand her.

The costume that I wear on the show is a little snug and doesn’t leave a whole lot to the imagination. I don’t have a problem with it because of the way this character’s been...

I used up every cent I earned as an actress.

I simply did not want my face to be my talent.

When you have spent an important part of your life playing Let’s Pretend, it’s often easy to see symbolism where none exists.

I spent an entire evening seated between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, being charmed from either side. It was pure Hollywood magic.

I have spent much of my adult life flinching with pain as I tried to pull out the threads that bound the shadows of my past to me.

Studio 54 made Halloween in Hollywood look like a PTA meeting.

I think right now in the world we’re feeling like there’s no solid ground beneath our feet, you know?

My daughter is one of the associate producers on two shows for Disney. I am really proud of her.

An actress, around 40, on television, that’s where you get the most torture, I think.

The fact that anyone would find me sexy is very, very flattering, but ridiculous. I so don’t believe it. But I’m flattered. Truth is, I don’t lift a finger to look sexy. Ever.

I think Secretary’s funny, it is about sex, and there’s a lot of sex in it, sex is the key, but you’re talking about a lot of other complicated things.

I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.

Playing in front of an audience was just such a turn-on for me, and you have 200 people in the audience and it’s like doing live theater. And filming something that goes to millions of...

I have kept working, even if I’ve thrown off the big movies I used to do. I still have three or four wonderful little movies coming out.

What brings people down is the same thing over and over.

I think in this movie, every time I see his work, I’m blown away by it because he, to me, he really embodied the character so powerfully and so real, so truthfully to me.

I don’t believe there is any character that one can play for that long and not bring a piece of you to it.

I would say I think Jason is going to lose and Freddy will win. I don’t know why. I just feel that Freddy is more maniacal and thinks more than Jason does.

You know, I had my mother and my father convincing me that he would be going back to Hollywood and he’d be back with the actresses and dating them and that he wasn’t serious about...

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you’re too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

I’ve learned to look like I’m listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I’m actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head.

The way to my heart is by being truthful and spontaneous.

I plan to work ever day they’ll let me.

I am very driven. I work really hard, whether it’s acting or my charity or even poker. When I focus on something I give it my all.

There are parts of me that I feel are beautiful, but they don’t have anything to do with my nose.

We go fish, we also catch fighting fish, looking for birds and it was for kampong people, the paddy field was our the play field for the children.

It was critical to finding a way out. I had assumed young women knew the history of feminism and must have felt gratitude to the movement for the opportunities that the work we have done...

I’ve made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that’s gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.

I put myself on the line with my truth and my sexuality. That is my choice. My choice.

I’m not a first-place person.

I mean, I’m pretty good in real life, but sometimes people seem surprised that I’m like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I’m just a little bit more edgy than the person...

Later, I made a movie with him, ‘That Touch of Mink,’ and we became good friends but any woman’s initial meeting with Cary is right up there with the big moments of her world history.

I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor’s Studio. She’d get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn’t leave her alone. She didn’t know where to hide.

I kind of thought the writers were starting to take Taylor and make her kind of down and dirty.

One thing I’ve learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it’s taking you.

Well I could have been just a writer. I had been a hair dresser. I could have stuck with that.

He who stands with his face to the East in the morning will have the sun before him. If he does not change his posture, the Earth in the meantime having changed its, he will...

Now the copyright has been extended 20 years, but prior to that they paid no attention to these people, and some of them really need help.

Because I take care of my body, it doesn’t look like the body of a woman of my years.
