I'm the nicest goddamn dame that ever lived.

Joan Crawford is a movie star. I am an actress.

Never, never trust anyone who asks for white wine. It means they're phonies.

I would take a bad script and a good director any day against a good script and a bad director.

Without discipline and detachment, an actor is an emotional slob, spilling his insides out. This abandonment is having an unfortunate vogue. It is tasteless, formless, absurd. Without containment there is no art. All this vomiting and wheezing and bursting at the seams is no more great acting than the convulsions of raving maniacs.
