62 " No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't. "

65 " Boys think girls are like books, If the cover doesn't catch their eye they won't bother to read what's inside. "
66 " Some people have been unkind. If I say I want to grow as an actress, they look at my figure. If I say I want to develop, to learn my craft, they laugh. Somehow they don't expect me to be serious about my work. "
67 " Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. "
