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

They say that in Hollywood one can't be honest, but I think honesty counts in Hollywood just as much as it does anywhere else. I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.

You know what I'm going to have on my gravestone? 'She did it the hard way.'
