Kim Novak's quotes

Storms come down, houses are wiped out, people drown, but every last little palm is there after the storm. Man is always saying, "I will overwhelm". Why can't he bend like the little palms? And rise again. Isn't that better than being washed away?
For every answer, I like to bring up a question. Maybe I'm related to Alfred Hitchcock or maybe I got to know him too well, but I think life should be that way.
Harry Cohn did not make me. But I also feel that I probably didn't make me, either. I think it was a combination. I think that's what made it work.
[Alfred Hitchcock], contrary to what I'd heard about him, allowed me very much to have my own interpretation and everything.
I always felt Jimmy [James Stewart] was trapped in Hollywood. He felt it himself. He loved aviation so much and he wanted to be able to do more of that. He somehow just got stuck here.
I didn't want to start relying on what someone else thought was right. It was easier to go away all together.
I don't feel that I was a Hollywood-created star.
I don't think you want to give all the answers, but I think every answer you do give should bring up another question, and not all questions should be answered.
I had a lot of resentment for a while toward Kim Novak. But I don't mind her anymore. She's okay. We've become friends. I even asked her before this trip for some beauty tips.
I had never had a director who was particular about the costumes, the way they were designed, the specific colors.
I knew Rita Hayworth only enough to know that she was just a tender, sensitive, beautiful human being. A lovely person. Very gentle. She would never stand up for her rights.
I live way out in the country, so there's not a lot of people around to remind me. And my friends don't think of me as 'Kim Novak' anymore anyway. It's like they forgot, too. And so it's nice.
I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful.
I think it will be helpful to people because I know the expectations that are put on you as a sex symbol, and how Marilyn Monroe suffered and so on, and I was able to get free of that.
I was always opinionated.
Why I loved working with [Alfred Hitchcock] was that he allowed me that creativity and input.
Well, I'm Czech, but Polish, Czech, no matter, it's my name
The thing I loved about Alfred Hitchcock is that he left a lot of open ends there, a lot of clues that didn't really add up the way you think they would, and sometimes, not at all.
My security comes from my senses, my sensing the direction I should go and suddenly I felt out of tune, out of step with what other people wanted or what other people expected of me.
If you're wanting glamorous or really beautiful or really sexy, well then, I wasn't really the one, but I could do all of that. You could just get really lost in that kind of image.
[on strategy] If you want to live on the edge of life, you need to be flexible.
[in 1957] I'm not like [Greta Garbo]. I don't ever want to be alone.
[on her role in Vertigo (1958)] I don't think it's one of my best works, but to have been part of something that has been accepted makes me feel very good.
They'll always remember me in Vertigo (1958), and I'm not that good in it, but I don't blame me because there are a couple of scenes where I was wonderful.
Sometimes I'll catch a movie on TV - something that's beautifully acted and directed - and I'll cry my eyes out thinking, "I wish I'd done that one!" But then it passes. The next day I'll go out in nature and paint a picture and be truly excited.
My husband doesn't identify me as "Kim Novak" at all. I was out of Hollywood when we met. He was my equine veterinarian. He still is. He has no interest in Hollywood, and that is fine with me.
[on the death of David Bowie] It has been hard letting go of the life in and of David Bowie - something every part of my being still resists. The night sky seems a little darker without him. He was a beacon of light, a friend, an inspiration.
[asked if she'd vote for Donald Trump] Are you kidding? Oh my God no! I wouldn't vote for that man if you gave me anything.
I never smoked cigarettes. Awful stuff - they don't make you feel good. And I was never a drinker. I smoked grass; I still do. It's relaxing. I like stuff that gives me images in my head.
