[not getting plastic surgery] I've tried to stay the person I am. Plastic surgery can make you beautiful, or it can change your looks. Either way, you're not the person you used to be. I've chosen to go without the plastic surgery and try to stay myself as best I can.

[Rock Hudson] Rock was certainly the kindest actor I ever knew. When I'd be at Universal, he'd always come over and say hello.

[her worst movies] Even the bad ones are fascinating, right? And usually so bad that they're good. The worst one is probably a tie between Mistress of the Apes and Terminal Island. Those make me laugh to this day.

[why she quit acting] Look at the price of fame. It's horrible, the pressure on movie stars to be movie stars all the time. People tell horrible stories about them, and they're followed so that they can take pictures of them having an off day, daring to look like a normal person. I'm glad I got out of that and could grow old gracefully.
