When I was 11, the whole world was closed to me. I just felt I was on the outside of the world.

Dogs never bite me - just humans.

Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I'm just a girl who wishes for the world.

I've always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, 'Hi,' that the people ought to get their money's worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.

To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation. But I'm working on the foundation.

Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.
