Hindsight is always twenty-twenty.

Marilyn was mean. Terribly mean. The meanest woman I have ever met around this town. I have never met anybody as mean as Marilyn Monroe or as utterly fabulous on the screen.

I am big. It's the pictures that got small.

If you don't like what you're doing, it's unlikely anyone else will either, so be sure you are happy with your own work first.

The ultimate trick is to convince, persuade. Every single person out there is an idiot, but collectively they're a genius.

Ah, Marilyn, Hollywood's Joan of Arc, our Ultimate Sacrificial Lamb. Well, let me tell you, she was mean, terribly mean. The meanest woman I have ever known in this town. I am appalled by this Marilyn Monroe cult. Perhaps it's getting to be an act of courage to say the truth about her. Well, let me be courageous. I have never met anyone as utterly mean as Marilyn Monroe. Nor as utterly fabulous on the screen, and that includes Garbo.

I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.
