It makes me feel wonderful that people still care for me... that I have so many fans among young people, who write to me and tell me I have been an inspiration.

I never kept up with the fashions. I believed in wearing what I thought looked good on me.

I don't know what they mean by an icon. I never thought of myself as being that. It seems strange to me. I was just modeling, thinking of as many different poses as possible. I made more money modeling than being a secretary. I had a lot of free time. You could go back to work after an absence of a few months. I couldn't do that as a secretary.

My favorite actress of all times is Bette Davis in Dark Victory. I have seen it six or seven times, and I still cry.

I was never one who was squeamish about nudity. I don't believe in being promiscuous about it, but several times I thought of going to a nudist colony.

I love to swim in the nude and roam around the house in the nude. You're just as free as a bird!

For years I had my hair parted down the middle in a ponytail, tucked down around the sides... Well, I went and cut the bangs, and I've been wearing them ever since. They say it's my trademark.

Sex is a part of love. You shouldn't go around doing it unless you are in love.
