I've had my best times when trailing a Mainbocher evening gown across a sawdust floor. 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 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.

In any service where a couple hold down jobs as a team, the male generally takes his ease while the wife labors at his job as wellas her own.

Memory is more indelible than ink.

Sometimes writers of no talent at all can write great acting scenes. Sometimes the very best writers can't write scenes that come to life.

Any girl who was a lady would not even think of having such a good time that she did not remember to hang on to her jewelry.
