“People expect so much of an attractive person. I mean people are very critical on me. It makes me tense. Even when I lay down I’m tense. I’ve got an enormous imagination. I imagine all kinds of things. Like that I’m all washed up, I’m finished. I think sometimes that people don’t want me around. I don’t like to be alone though. When I’m alone my imagination gets all creepy.” -Sharon Tate, 1967.

“In Valley of the Dolls, I made love to a man in bed, but I had on a flesh-colored bikini under the sheets. Why should I be ashamed? You see people murdering each other every day on TV, but you never see them making love — and love is certainly more beautiful. Being sexy is something that comes naturally or not at all. Sex is all in the mind. I don't wear low-cut dresses or pose in bikinis for publicity. I'm more mature now and changing my attitudes all the time. I won't play any more dumb blondes because everyone expects me to be dumb. I will never be another Marilyn Monroe. But I had to do what they wanted at first. When you start out in this business you can't afford to be totally independent or stand up for what's right; by the time you get to the point where you have the power to run your own career they call you a bitch."
