Farrah Fawcett's Quotes

• The reason that the all-American boy prefers beauty to brains is that he can see better than he can think.
• Marriages that last are with people who do not live in Los Angeles.
• God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.
• [In a 1994 reunion with her Charlie's Angels (1976) co-stars Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith explaining to them why she left the series after only one year] Our characters were the same in every show, and we never were able to change that. Why couldn't I have been depressed on one show? Why couldn't I have cried? Once I went into executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg and I said, "Wouldn't it be great if in one show I took Kate and Jaclyn home with me", and they met my parents, and we explored the possibilities of these girls as friends and they said, "We have a show. It works. We're not changing it." And that's when, in my heart at least, I was out of there. They didn't appreciate what we had and what was so special
• [In 1981, reflecting on her early acting role] On Myra Breckinridge (1970) we had to wait hours for Raquel Welch. I wasn't anybody so I stood around the set and I heard what the crew said about her. I decided I didn't want them saying those things about me.
