I Wasn't A Sex Symbol, I Was

There's No Doubt I Was A Bit Of A Misfit In The Hollywood Of The Forties. The Race For Glamour Left Me Far Behind. I Didn't Really Want To Keep Up. I Wanted My Stardom Without The Usual Trimmings. Because Of This, I Was Branded A Rebel At The Very Least. But I Don't Regret That For A Minute. My Appetite Was My Own And I Simply Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way.

I've Reached A Point In My Life Where It's The Little Things That Matter... I Was Always A Rebel And Probably Could Have Got Much Farther Had I Changed My Attitude. But When You Think About It, I Got Pretty Far Without Changing Attitudes. I'm Happier With That.

Hollywood Gives A Young Girl The Aura Of One Giant, Self-contained Orgy Farm, Its Inhabitants Dedicated To Crawling Into Every Pair Of Pants They Can Find.

I Think I've Developed Into An Actress Because I've Worked Darn Hard At It And I've Learned A Great Deal From A Lot Of Gifted People. And If I Have Nothing Else To Show For My Life, Apart From A Scrapbook Full Of Cuttings, I Have The Knowledge That My Early Days In Hollywood Weren't In Vain.

I Wasn't A Sex Symbol, I Was A Sex Zombie.
