Sharon in a 1967 interview: "Roman has helped me grow tremendously. It's about time wouldn't you say?!Because of him and this acting business, I'm starting to see things for what they're worth. Life. People. Before, I used to take everything at face value. Because, when I say something, I mean it.....so I used to feel that everybody else meant what they said. But of course that wasn't true. And life isn't that sweet and simple."

"I guess I kind of lived in a fairytale world...looking at everything through rose colored glasses. I probably always will, to a certain extent....."

Sharon on her sex appeal; "Sexiness is all in the eye of the beholder. I think it should be. Absolutely. My sex appeal, whatever it might be, isn't obvious...at least to me."

Costume Designer, Travilla, (who supervised wardrobe for eleven of Marilyn Monroe's movies, among scores of others) and did Sharon's wardrobe for "Valley of the Dolls" declared; "Sharon Tate is divine, a real find. Just wait and see what happens when the critics and public see her in "Valley".Sharon has everything Marilyn Monroe had- and more! She has the fascinating, yet wholly feminine strength of a Dietrich or a Garbo.....a classically beautiful face, an exciting figure, the kind of sex appeal and personality appeal to become as glittering a star as Bette Davis,Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, or Elizabeth Taylor...."

Sharon on Nudity; "I honestly don't understand the big fuss made over nudity and sex in films. It's silly. On TV, the children can watch people murdering each other, which is a very unnatural thing, but they can't watch two people in the very natural process of making love. Now, really, that doesn't make any sense, does it?"
