- All I want to do is act.
- Luck has usually been on my side and I have tremendous faith in my own ability. I know that something will happen at any time, any place. I will seize that chance when it comes.
- I simply can't say no to doing pin-ups. They brought me my first movie chance. I plugged my bust line and oh, the fans I got.
- When you're worked up in a part you don't mind what you do. It all comes naturally. But I'd prefer nude scenes to be a bit hazy, rather the way Martine Carrol does.
- I believe in myself, and I believe in my luck.
- Commenting on her famous topless stunt in 1954: I thought would help my career. I wanted to go to Hollywood - and after all Marilyn Monroe became famous after she posed (in the) nude for a calendar. What was the harm in it?
- My Hollywood bubble has burst.
- I suppose I was impatient to get to the top too quickly.
- America has always been my dream.
- I would do anything for publicity.
- On her Cannes stunt in 1954: I thought it would be good for me to be photographed with Bob Mitchum that way.
- As long as sex is box-office and I keep my figure, I'm out to be the sexiest thing on two legs.
- [After her Cannes famous incident]: The photographers got down on their knees to plead with me to take the top off,
- I always chase men in the pictures. Why, oh why can't they chase me?
- I'm the bad girl of British films. I'm the naughty, the nasty, the vamp.
- [Two years after the Cannes frenzy]: The truth is... It was Bob Mitchum who took off my top. I just felt a tug from behind and it was gone. He wouldn't give it back. What could i do? Except cover myself with my hands... ...It (the truth) doesn't really matter now.
- [Being interviewed about her dinner with ex-king Farouk]: I knew that would get in the papers! But it was fun. I met him one Night in Rome and he asked to be introduced. I agreed, but i was very careful... I greeted him as his one last loyal subject. He liked that. We dined in beautiful places and talked in French, Italian, Arabic and English. When I left for England he sent me a huge bunch of red roses. He's a big, fat wealthy man, but not very much like a king, I'm afraid.
