I never wanted to be a trophy wife. I wanted to make it on my own. I didn't want to depend on a man.

I have never been a Marilyn Monroe wannabe. I have always been happy in my own skin!

I took my acting very seriously. I did over 40 films, and naturally, some of them were called B-movies because the woman was at the top of the billing. Women couldn't star in their own movies.

I just can't see myself as a trophy wife. I can't imagine not having my own life.

I want to make my own movie.

I studied really hard. But Hollywood never appreciated my talent.
