I've never known a Philadelphian who wasn't a downright 'character'; possibly a defense mechanism resulting from the dullness of their native habitat.

I was born in the theatre. My father was a small time impresario on the West Coast and I was acting from the age of 7, but I started to write when I was 12 and by the time I was 14 I was making more money than I was acting.

A girl with brains ought to do something with them besides think.

I once witnessed more ardent emotions between men at an Elks' Rally in Pasadena than they could ever have felt for the type of woman available to an Elk.

I've always loved high style in low company.

Tallulah [Bankhead] never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order indeed.

I began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.
