[on her life as a child star in the 1950s] Because of the circles I mixed in, professionally, I knew about things that children in those days were shielded from. Yet, at the same time, I was still very young in my own experiences of life. It was all rather peculiar and confusing.

I’ve thought about stopping working, just briefly. Sometimes I stop and think, ‘Wait a minute. When I finish this, what do I do?’ But I don’t have what normal people call a home. There’s no place where I can go and grow my radishes. That’s pretty weird when you think about it. [The Arizona Republic, Aug. 29, 1999]
