We are all born sexual creatures,thank God, but it’s a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift.
Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.
I have too many fantasies to be a housewife…. I guess I am a fantasy.

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.
Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.

I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I’ll leave those things to the men.
If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.
The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or smiling into your eyes – or just by staring into space.

One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I’m a woman. That is the way all females should feel.

Having a child, that’s always been my biggest fear. I want a child and I fear a child.
