I loved to get all dusty and ride horses and plant potatoes and cotton.

Everybody said Peyton Place would be a mistake.

I never turned down a mother role.

We had cocktail parties and I'd stay up until 5 in the morning.

I was the first movie star to plunge into night-time soap opera.

The only thing I did at RKO of any note was lose my Texas accent.

I get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant.
