Quotes
“I said, `I'm not going to change my family name.' Harry Cohn said, `Well, nobody's going to go see a girl with a Polack name.' I said, `Well, I'm Czech, but Polish, Czech, no matter, it's my name.”
— As quoted in "Kim Novak: No Fear of Falling" by Tom Shales, The Washington Post, 14 October 1996
“[Vertigo] was before its time, really. I was not appreciated in my time. I think I'm appreciated more now. I'm glad to know that I'm still around to know that I'm more appreciated now.”
“I inherited my mental illness from my father, but the rape must have added to it…I ask how old she was and whether the rapist was known to her. “It was in my early teens by multiple boys in the back seat of a stranger’s car.”
— On whether being raped as a teenager contributed to her mental ailments in “‘I had to leave Hollywood to save myself’: Kim Novak on art, bipolar, Hitchcock and happiness” in The Guardian (2021 Feb 15)
