I hadn't even dreamed of getting another Academy Award, and there I was unhappy in my private life and miserable, I remember Odets drove me three times around the Biltmore, where the Oscars were given out, because I was so full of tears.

Please do not ask me to talk about my divorce. Mr. Ziegfeld and I are such very good friends. It is only a little matter quite between ourselves.

For a married woman to flirt is a sin.

I have never known the time when I did not wear stays. My stays are part of me.

I read the papers every day just to discover if one mentions Anna Held.

If I get married, I think I'd pick out a newspaperman rather than a millionaire. A newspaperman is a regular fellow.

It is all very well for so-called sensible people to recommend flat heels and short skirts, but most of us prefer not to be sensible.
