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

I want to see people turn and writhe; make them feel things they cannot see and sometimes do not know.

I was very adept at acquiring languages.

You instinctively discover how to entertain an audience.

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.

It is quite lovely being single, and I much prefer it.

I wish to please the people, but I want to make them cry, perhaps. There, I have said it.
