To me, true style icons have been few and far between. Elizabeth Taylor comes to mind. I never got to meet her while she was alive, but she is one of those people I have always admired in terms of her sense of style.
I've had the honor and the pleasure and gift of having known Elizabeth Taylor for a number of years. You know, you sit down with her, she slings hash, she sits there and cusses like a sailor, and she's hilarious.
This so-called fame or being better off doesn't really attract me at all.
In fact, I love my glamourous image.
I have proved my skills as an actress who can perform both character and glamour roles and 'Uyir' would take me to greater heights.
I never thought I was somebody that would be on the cover of magazines in fashions, wearing fashions. It's like not me. But that is what movie stardom entails.
I live a dual life. On the red carpet, it's complete glam. But at home, I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. Simple can be beautiful.
On the surface, being a musician can look pretty glamorous. But so much work goes into it.
Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous, beautiful, and she still is today, I'm crazy about her.
The word "superstar" is an ilusion
I am rich and famous. I have a talented and gorgeous husband and two beautiful children. I could go on.
Maybe people [in Hollywood] wear really nice clothes, and they drive really nice cars, but that doesn't make me comfortable. And if I'm not comfortable, it won't be a part of my life.
The most famous actress who did the 'dumb blond' routine was Marilyn Monroe, but she was a genius actress.
Honestly, I try to stay away from the famous chicks and L.A. girls in general.
I could be the Greta Garbo of comedy, very secluded, but Garbo had a man who was beyond rich to support her.
Filmmakers are stuck with my glamorous image. Even if I sit in track pants and a T-shirt, I will still look glamorous. That's the way I am. But there's more to me. I'm a real person.
Marilyn Monroe appeared to be perfect, but she wasn't perfect.
I like wearing beautiful clothes, but that does not translate into my work. People don't like to see me as a glam doll in my movies. My audience and the media love me with two different perceptions. It's a strange, crazy situation.
Fame is a fickle friend, Harry. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that.
It's cinematographic to smoke. Imagine Lauren Bacall without a cigarette.
Everyone assumes we're always going to have a cocktail and a cigarette in hand. Fans expect us all to be dressed up all the time. They always say to me, 'You look so young. You don't seem as tall!'
I have always been known for my glamour but I wanted to do something strong and substantial on TV, which is a woman dominated medium.
I don't think I have the assets to play the more traditional Bond Girl.
The clue to book jacket photography is to look friendly and approachable, but not too glamorous.
They come for you in the morning in a limousine; they take you to the studio; they stick a pretty girl in your arms... They call that a profession? Come on!
