• "No more bare bodies in film scenes for me. For my children's sake, I must stop. The other kids at school keep throwing it up to my children, and they are not kind."
• "Acting is a matter of giving away secrets."
• "I remember saying to Jon : 'This character is a bombshell. How do I deal with this? A bombshell, that's not me.' And he said to me that I'd never before been cast so close to who I was! I said: 'That's ridiculous! This is Marilyn Monroe, not me.' and he said, 'You couldn't be more wrong.' It still surprises me."
