4. Ava Gardner was the most beautiful woman in the world, and it's wonderful that she didn't cut up her face. She addressed aging by picking up her chin and receiving the light in a better way. And she looked like a woman. She never tried to look like a girl.
5. I like to be bought flowers and taken out for dinner. I like a man to be a gentleman. I don't like to be treated as if I am brainless. I like to be respected and to give respect.

18. I like being a woman, not a girl.
19. I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.
20. I think it's really important that the people who are going to make decisions for other people have fair, truthful and compassionate regard for all people, not just some people.

22. I thought it might be a good move to get into a beauty contest so I tried for Miss Pennsylvania and won. I think that helped me get noticed, at least by the people of Pennsylvania.
23. I tried for modeling work but it was a bit slow and that's when I took a part-time job at McDonalds. It gave me income while I was waiting for my big break and at the very least I could eat.

24. I think we have to be not so afraid of scarcity. We have to be willing to give away all things.

26. I've had the same breasts for my entire adult life.
27. It was not always easy because I was always an individual and found it difficult to be one of a group. One person who was very supportive was my father. My mother was great but my father really recognized my individuality and supported me in that.

28. Many actresses do that kind of shoot when they are in their early 20s but I didn't think I had anything to worry about so I decided to go for it. I was very pleased with the results and it was also nice to surprise a few people.
29. Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.
29. Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.
30. Some people work hard in this business and become really popular, really big stars but they never receive an award from within the business. Somehow, when your colleagues and friends believe in you to the point of handing you an award it means so much more.
31. There are a lot of good things about being famous but there are a few not so good things too.
32. The doctor told Phil, my then husband, that my condition was really bad news. They had found an artery tearing and said I could die. They said they could try to patch it up but it could go horribly wrong. It all turned out okay in the end but it was touch and go.

33. TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realized I had. I hope to do more.
34. To be happy, to make other people happy, to get into movie production more and probably to give some other people the chances that I had, to carry on enjoying being a mum and never to stop having flowers bought for me. I've still got a long way to go.

35. Well, I think when we can turn to the person sitting next to us and really see them with kindness and see ourselves reflected back - when there's some dignity and compassion traveling back and forth.
36. You know, sometimes I feel well and vital in the world, and sometimes I just feel so distressed I want to pull my hair out by the roots.
37. When you're a regular gal, you look in the rearview mirror, and in the bright daylight you see that line around your mouth, but when you're an actress and you see that line up on the big screen, it's, like, seven feet long.

40. I love the fact British men act cool whatever the situation so I'm planning to recruit there.
41. A lot of people think that fame is the Band-Aid that cures their ills. I'm no kid, and I knew long before I got famous that wasn't the deal. I'm the court jester, not the queen.
42. The philosophy of being able as a woman to decide what you want and being unashamed about making it happen was new. Most successful businessmen are in that role. "No" is never perceived as the end of the line. "No" just means picking a new avenue.

46. I just love Max.
47. Get me Jessica Alba.

62. When they're old enough to see that kind of material, then they're old enough to see that kind of material.

63. It's traumatizing for me to come to Washington during a Republican administration because I don't have any Republican clothes. (Washington Post, June 20, 2001)

69. This brilliant, bright, white vortex of light was upon me. And then I was met by some of my friends, people who are very dear to me.

71. I don't believe make up and the right hairstyle alone can make a woman beautiful. The most radiant woman in the room is the one full of life and experience.
72. Not in this lifetime. Why? Because I'm the only one she hasn't done it to. (When told Madonna has said she wants to kiss her)
73. We Barbie dolls are not supposed to behave the way I do.
74. Carole Lombard, Clark Gable, Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire - that was my idea of what it was supposed to be like. I thought: "Well, I can do that even if no one else does." Who cares? I dress up to show that I am happy and grateful to be there. That's what you do where I come from. I don't feel like saying: "fuck you." I feel like saying: "thank you."
75. I thought when I made my first big mistakes in public that that was really going to be the end of me. My parents cried. My friends were desperate.
76. It would walk into the room and eat you, or take you for a ride through a fabulous jungle - or it could slap the living daylights out of you, laugh, and leave. (on fame)
77. If you don't want my peaches, don't shake my tree.
78. I have this philosophy that money talks and cash screams.

85. By the time the film is released, I will be 48 and I wanted to do the nudity in a way that's quite brazen. I wanted her to be very masculine, like a man in a steam room and I wanted the audience to have a moment where they realize she's naked and then realize that she's a forty something woman and naked. Because we're not used to seeing that in movies. We're used to seeing Sean Connery and his granddaughter, you know what I mean? Or Mel Gibson and his daughter. (Talking about Basic Instinct 2 (2006))
86. My mother gave me a jar of Avon Rich Moisture Cream when I was 14. She said: "Don't ask me why; you'll thank me later". (Woman's World, 4-11-06)

87. In this business there is Plan A, in which you become successful by living and acting with a lot of integrity. Then there's Plan B, where you sell your soul to the Devil. I still find it hard to distinguish one from the other.
88. I've really given up my life to God, and I know that's why I'm OK and at peace. I've never had a conflict when I'm praying on a set.

89. I've been at this so long that I knew everyone in the business long before I became famous, and I didn't have any value to many of them. Now, suddenly, the people who were coarse and rude to me before treat me as though we've never met, and now I'm fabulous, they're fabulous and isn't it fabulous we're chatting.
90. My children need to have someone they can look up to, someone they can look at and say: "Gee, I'd like to be just like him". So I don't want to just bring some schmuck around them. When I meet people I have to think about are they going to be a good example for my sons.

91. For the first half of your life, you get the face that you're born with. And for the second half you get the face you deserve. And it's important to recognize the beauty within you and allow it to grow by being the greater person that you can be.
92. People are just sitting there going: "I don't care what she's saying, I just want to know does she get naked in the movie? Is she naked? Nude nude nude naked, do I see her boobies?" (during a Basic Instinct 2 (2006) press conference.)
93. At 47, you have thoughtfulness and dignity and spiritual elegance…You have something to say. It's not just: "Hi! I look terrific in a bathing suit."
94. When you've had a long career, nobody has not made movies that aren't successful, it's your job, not a hobby.
95. Being professional in what I do is very important to me. Flakes don't make it to the top, pros do. Acting is a tough scene that becomes your whole life and to survive in that kind of environment you must be humane and honest.
96. I was this cute young girl with a nice ass who was a terrible actress. But I've worked real hard to become a good actress and now I think I'm starting to reap the benefits of that hard work. (from a 1990 interview)
97. I feel at great pain when the spotlight is on the death of 4,000 American soldiers, while 600,000 Iraqi deaths are ignored. War is not a movie, it is a tragedy of dead bodies, victims, the disabled, orphans, widows and the displaced. I feel sad when I realize how much truth is being changed or obscured in the American media.
98. TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realized I had. I hope to do more.
