| Quotes: |
I cared very much about being a good actress, and I learned over the years. But it wasn't my main motivating force in life; that was my drive for relationships. The concept of letting a great offer go for the sake of a marriage is unheard of in America. I didn't make popular decisions. I never moved to Hollywood. I didn't take my clothes off to act. Hollywood never owned me. My need for love owned me.

It's always intimidating to meet an icon.
<br />
<hr>
What I really mean is, if you're going to make a move, do it while you can enjoy it, while it's still exciting, before you wrinkle. Remember, don't cut off your nose to spite your profile. |
