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.

A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.

Twins are so practical. It's always nice to have a spare.

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.

Sin in the theater, I can observe now, is comparable to education in a university: it is there for those who wish to take advantage of it, but fewer do than you might suspect.

I think when an actress marries she should leave the stage. She cannot be happy if she is married and remains on the stage. She must care more for her art or for her husband.
