Natalie Wood

“I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.”

“A lot changed when I had Natasha. I'm a survivor.”

“When I get married it will be for keeps.”

“At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.”

“I was so overprotected, I used to think I was as delicate as people said I was.”

“The times that I have done something that I didn't respond to emotionally right away, it's generally not worked out too well.”

“I'm not very bright about money. I'm not domestic either. If I don't learn how to cook, maybe I won't have to.”

“Not even analysis, by itself, can transform you. You must still do the changing yourself.”

“For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.”

“I didn't like children. I didn't think of myself as a child. I didn't like any of the things other children were interested in.”

“The constant attention is what is so difficult.”

“My mother used to tell me, No matter what they ask you, always say yes. You can learn later.”

“Almost every girl falls in love with the wrong man, I suppose it's part of growing up.”

“From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.”

“Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.”

“The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby.”

“If I didn't believe in what I'm doing, I'd rather go to work in a dime store.”

“Sometimes when I visit my sister and her two children, I wonder if she missed a lot by getting married. Right now, nothing could be further from my mind than getting married.”

“Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don't think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.”

“I thought it was a wonderful line - right on the cutting room floor.”
