I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path.

So the thing that's beautiful about the Rolleiflex is that I open the camera up from the top and put my face in and that the camera's all about composition and all about light.

I bought all the stuff, but nothing was as satisfying to me as using the Rolleiflex because it was one shot.

People are much more inclined to believe and say bad things about you if you're famous.

I don't want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress.

People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius.
