Quotes by Angie Dickinson
I remember a Humphrey Bogart movie where he was a reporter, so I wanted to be a reporter, and then he was a parachutist, and I wanted to be a parachutist.
The romantic love of my life, I'm sure, was Burt Bacharach. I had a few that were wonderful, but I married him, and that's going pretty far.
I never thought of myself as beautiful. I thought I was OK, certainly good enough to get along.
I was popular in high school. I smiled, and I laughed, and I talked, and I wasn't bad-looking, but I was never considered beautiful - never, ever.
I never felt the need for feminism. I never felt competition with men, which I really believed started the movement.
When you're a TV star, you pretty much set the tone, and on 'Police Woman,' we goofed around all the time.
When I completely submerge my sensuality or my sexuality, I'm not very interesting.
I grew up going to movies. My daddy was the projectionist, so we got in for free.
The double standard means men can run around and women cannot. I think I'm up to testing that.
