Quotes

  • [her physique] I knew I had a nice body, but it was something I sort of took for granted. In Hollywood, it got a lot of attention, it made me self-conscious. I wanted to be known as a serious actress. I should have just gone with the flow but we always want something we don't have. It was kind of silly of me that I didn't since I obviously had a great body. I didn't take advantage of it like the girls do today especially that in those days there was no nudity to worry about.
  • [choosing family over acting] I would rather have my children and the life I have now then a woman who doesn't have children. That's what is important in life, it's not having a career. If you have a career and come home to an empty home at night, what's the point?
