Julie London's quotes

• I'm the world's worst. I dislike women in large groups, and as individuals.
• Women should be women, who wants them to be asexual? Not your old buddy.
• [on her singing voice]: It's only a thimbleful of a voice, and I have to use it close to the microphone. But it is a kind of over-smoked voice, and it automatically sounds intimate.
• [In 1963]: We're opposite types. Marilyn [Monroe] was the sex symbol... I'm strictly the housewife-mother type.
• [In 1961]: Just as long as they buy the records, I don't care why they buy 'em, we spent more time on the covers than the music.
• I was really stupid about it. I thought, "Oh, that's nice." My first song, "River", was No. 1 for four months, but I didn't know the business then; I didn't know what it meant.
• [When asked if she had any weight problems]: No, I never do, but I guess it's a lack of sleep. I should eat more protein, but I like to eat what I like.
• [In 1972]: I'm not crazy about sexual activities so explicitly shown. Sex is a terribly personal thing. It shouldn't be exploited.
• [When she became an actress]: I wasn't going to, but the store was filled with actors, working there between jobs. They said, "Go on, See her.".
• [When asked if she wanted to star in the pilot of Emergency! (1972), alongside her then husband, Bobby Troup]: Hell yes!
• [In 1968]: I am lazy. I like to procrastinate. But I force myself to swim, ride a bike or go to a gym. You have to be active to keep in shape.
• [In 1977]: There's always something just around the corner for people to run into. But I haven't the foggiest what or where my corner is.
• [In 1997]: I'm a girl who needs amplification.
• I think our emotions contribute most to staying young. You can't fight life or yourself and feel or look well.
• I may have to revise my ideal weight if this pace keeps up. I don't think anyone could gain weight filming and action television series like Emergency! (1972).
• You have to set standards for yourself. I have a strong feeling about not letting myself go. If you keep busy, you can take your mind off food. If you don't plan activity, eating will be the only thing you think about.
• [In 1945]: I'll be with you as soon as I paint on my beach shoes.
• [on her divorce from Jack Webb]: I was unsettled, I think anybody would be if the way they had been living for seven years was suddenly upset.
• [In 1981]: Mainly it's been a royal treat for the two of us, being able to spend a lot of time with the kids, which is really important to us both, and which we're still doing.
• [on the opportunity to pursue an acting career by starring in Emergency! (1972)]: I was singing in Las Vegas last November when we suddenly got the notice to appear in the first 11 episodes.
• Sometimes you kind of lose yourself in someone else's personality.
• [If homes belongs to couples or roommates]: I think homes should reflect the individuals and their individual taste rather than someone else's.
• [Who said in 1975 about refusing to sing, in real-life, when starring in [Emergency! (1972)]]: I'll tell you, we've been doing the show now, for close to 5 years, and the first 4 years after we started doing the show, I sounded pretty good.
