 Strong women only marry weak men. |
| I will never be below the title. |
| 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. |
| Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation. |
| In this business, until you're known as a monster you're not a star. |
| 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. |
| This has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work. |
| That's me: an old kazoo with some sparklers. |
| I never did pal around with actresses. Their talk usually bored me to tears. |
| 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. |
| Sex is God's joke on human beings. |
| When a man gives his opinion he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion she's a bitch. |
| The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? |
| With the newspaper strike on, I wouldn't consider dying. |
| Why am I so good at playing bitches? I think it's because I'm not a bitch. Maybe that's why Miss Crawford always plays ladies. |
| My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose. |
| 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. |
| I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless. |
| I don't take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache. |
| From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it. |
