Age is of no importance unless you are a cheese.

It seems to me that the most fundamental mistake most parents make with children is to expect them to be grateful. Children are never grateful. ... The 'sacrifices' you made were not for them, they were for you.

An actress who has the gift of swaying the emotions of an audience, of compelling tribute of tears, or of moving the public to joyous merriment, cannot always be satisfied to set aside her whole career, in the work that she loves, simply because she is married.

If I ever loved a man better than I love my art, I should marry him and leave the stage. But I have never met such a man.

Forty-seven is nothing at all, nor is any age unless you're a cheese.

There is no reason why marriage should necessarily compel an actress to forego her career.

I am constantly amazed when I talk to young people to learn how much they know about sex and how little about soap.
