They seem to be charmed by my Southern accent.

Anything I learned about the fine art of acting I learned from Hugo.

I like to take afternoon naps in the nude.

They seem to be charmed by my Southern accent.

And I usually use myself as a model, posing in front of a mirror as I dab the strokes on the canvas.

I'm not a very good painter, but I'm learning a lot.

One newspaper even published one of my nude paintings - the one of me naked from the waste up.

You know, just because you're a blonde type doesn't mean you can't suddenly do serious parts.

Painting self-portraits without clothes on has also given me some publicity.

Tell me the truth - do you think I've lost my Southern accent? I feel it comes back to me only when I'm shouting at fights or at baseball games.

None of the European girls, including Anita Ekberg, has anything not found on American girls as well.

It was strange what happened to me; I mean popping out like that before I was even ten.

I like to paint nudes mostly.

They want a lip print for their autograph books. I'm a sport; I go along.

Believe it or not, I was all fully rounded by the time I was nine years old.

We made one film called Thy Neighbor's Wife in which I got flogged at the public whipping post for adultery. I did my best acting in that film, I guess.

You know just because youre a blonde type doesnt mean you cant suddenly do serious parts.

Sometimes to go forward you've got to go to the depths of your own personal despair and claw yourself back. From that point, no matter what happens, you know you can do it.

I learned about life before I went into the theater, which is why I've been so happy. I was a soldier.

The whole idea that vehicles in the future will communicate with each other is a really big deal. It's a big deal for safety... and it's an opportunity to engage the automobile in the work of ensuring collision avoidance.

I'd like to do some more classical work if I do some more theatre.

Comedy is learning to be funny, and you learn to be funny in small rooms with young audiences.

It may seem draconian, but the best recommendation I can make is to completely avoid grains.

I am dying from the treatment of too many physicians.

I can do a book in three months if I spend all day, seven days a week at it and, in fact, I work better that way.

Americans know that we cannot tax and spend our way out of a recession, yet Democrats can't grasp this simple fact.

We all live every day in virtual environments, defined by our ideas.

Most people, once the money started getting bigger, thought we would buy a millionaire's house looking out at the sea - but what would two middle-aged people do that for? We were sensible enough when we got it.

We can only restore faith in government if the state itself becomes an efficient, effective and transparent ally of the people. Bureaucratic inefficiencies, abuses of power and the misappropriation of public funds must end.

I don't really want to be a celebrity.

The problem with smear campaigns is that too often they work.

The good and bad things are what form us as people... change makes us grow.

All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.

Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.

The first entry into modeling doesn't build your confidence. They pull out the tape measure and pick you apart. I'm a curvy woman, so I was definitely told I was 'too curvy.'

The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity.

I don't devalue comedy as compared to drama. Not one bit.

When I'm onstage, I'm not thinking about ideas. I'm not in my head at all. It's a more physical experience.

I've dated a number of 'mama's boys.'

I'm a loner. I like to be alone. I'm socially awkward.
