You Do Not Become A Star, You

My Philosophy Is That It's Better To Explore Life And Make Mistakes Than To Play It Safe And Not To Explore At All.

I Was Blessed With A Sense Of My Own Destiny. I Have Never Sold Myself Short. I Have Never Judged Myself By Other People's Standards. I Have Always Expected A Great Deal Of Myself, And If I Fail, I Fail Myself. So Failure Or Reversal Does Not Bring Out Resentment In Me Because I Cannot Blame Others For Any Misfortune That Befalls Me.

No Press Conference Announcing A Last Film. I'd Just Steal Away. Best Way Because, If By Chance After Two Or Three Years Something Interesting Comes Up, I Would Not - Like Sinatra - Have To Say: 'well, I've Thought It Over And Decided To Come Back.'

Isn't It Wonderful To Be Alive? You Know, You Can Forget All About It. Then Suddenly You Remember, And Think Of All The Things You Can Do. Here I Am. I Can Walk Around. I Can Talk. I Can See Things And Remember Things. I Am Alive. How Wonderful!

I Was So Skinny, They Gave Me The Nickname Stechetto - The Stick. I Was Tall, Thin, Ugly And Dark Like An Arab Girl. I Looked Strange. All Eyes. No Flesh On My Bones.
