I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business.

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

A sure way to lose happiness, I found, is to want it at the expense of everything else.

Brought up to respect the conventions, love had to end in marriage. I'm afraid it did.

Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.

I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.

An affair now and then is good for a marriage. It adds spice, stops it from getting boring... I ought to know.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

Men become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn't do much for women, though we do have an advantage: make-up.

There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.

I don't take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache.

The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.

I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.

This has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.

I work to stay alive.

Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We've already got the stars.

I've lost my faith in science.
