My only problem is finding a way to play my fortieth fallen female in a different way from my thirty-ninth.

A star is only as good as her last picture.

Eyes are the greatest tool in film. Mr. Capra taught me that. Sure it's nice to say very good dialogue, if you can get it. But great movie acting - watch the eyes!

Career is too pompous a word. It was a job, and I have always felt privileged to be paid for doing what I love doing.

The boy's got a lot to learn and I've got a lot to teach.

I'm a tough old broad from Brooklyn. Don't try to make me into something I'm not. If you want someone to tiptoe down the Barkley staircase in crinoline and politely ask where the cattle went, get another girl.

I'm now the Lord of the Brighton Manor.
