Quotes

“I wanted to be an actress - I didn't want to be a model, I felt myself choking to death. I hated it with a passion. I got hurt very easily. I mean, I'd come in weighing 115 pounds, and I'm 5 feet 7 ½, and I'd be told I was TEN pounds too heavy! And I still wasn't eating a damn thing!”
“about a hundred and eight, I think”
“As I have grown up in the acting world, I have learned a lot about really listening and keeping quiet, even in my own life. Less talk, more listening. It has taught me a lot about life and acting.”
“You come to a place in your life where you really learn what it is and how it is and what make you tick as an actress. It takes you a long time to learn how to be an actress. It really does. And then you find these buttons that become so accessible to you. And you just push them.”
“I’m not a big red-carpet girl. But I love the work.”
“She grew up in the limelight but I tried to provide stability and a quieter world.”
