There was no way I could live in Hollywood and not become an actress.

My co-workers expect me to be late and temperamental.

Most people don't need to work as hard as I do.

I should have been smart enough to stay happy. But my ambition ruled my life.

Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once.

It's sheer torture. I have to be up with the chickens every day and go to work on my body. I hate it, but I do it.

I'm acting when I serve as a hostess, when I run my wig business. I was born to act, and life itself is the greatest part.

There was no way I could live in Hollywood and not become an actress.

My first husband, yes, I eloped with him from Hungary against my mother's wishes.

I learned early that you only have so much energy to give. You have to spend it correctly.

If a man is truly in love, the most beautiful woman in the world couldn't take him away. Maybe for a few days, but not forever.

I've always known I would be a success, but I was surprised at the way it came.

I love the fast lane.

The only thing you have to know are your words.

Love is a game that two can play and both win.

After all the work I've done, why should I suddenly be treated as a bona fide actress?

East Hampton happens to have been the first place in the world where I was a star, a real star with a star pasted above my name on the dressing-room door.

The average housewife goes to the restaurant to relax and enjoy the food. But when Eva walks in, she becomes the center of attention.

I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn't be saying it, but it slipped out!

I made up my mind to be an actress when I was 4 years old.

I'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.

If a man is truly in love the most beautiful woman in the world couldnt take him away. Maybe for a few days but not forever.

My co workers expect me to be late and temperamental.

We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.

I was lucky enough to occasionally break out of that racist situation that prevails in the Hollywood film production community. But it was racist then and it will always be that way. It will never be otherwise.

Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.

The best thing I can think of would be to create a union between something as beautiful and powerful and wonderful as Hollywood films and a criticism of the status quo. That's my dream, to make such a German film.

Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. We had no idea that other people would think we were special, because there was no other lifestyle to compare it to.

I remember having to take detours around the Hollywood sign to avoid having to see this grotesque poster of myself on Sunset Boulevard.

Hollywood is kind of a bad world.

It's so crazy in Hollywood.

I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.

I came across awful characters when I got some kind of status and came to Hollywood. Then you have directors trying to sleep with you, assuming that you will do things because of the way you dress.

Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.

Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

Everyone is treating it like a Hollywood story. In Madison, it's a neighborhood story.

Hollywood is what you make it; you have to choose company with care because you become what they are.

Hollywood is a world all its own.

Silence is the sure sign that you're on your way out in Hollywood.

What is the thing that Hollywood demands most? Sincerity. No place in the world will pay such a high price for this admirable trait.

If you can believe it, Hollywood wanted to change my birthdate. I was born after Valentine's Day, so they wanted to change it to February 14. A Latin lover should be born on Valentine's Day. I said no.

In Hollywood if you are not working, you are a leper. True, you are probably living in the most expensive leper colony in the world.

There are plenty of lesbians in Hollywood, but they're not out. And that's their choice, but I can't do that, it's too important to me.

After 13 years of life on the half shell in Hollywood, I have made a trip where I wasn't a tourist.

What's really exciting for me is communicating to other people and not just going somewhere to make a movie. That's Hollywood to me and it would mean nothing.

No one has a closest friend in Hollywood.
