Building a proper wardrobe is like building a home. Indeed, you should think of it like a home, because it is something you're going to live in. It must be comfortable and suit all your needs.

Many women have asked me if it is possible to have a well-built complete wardrobe on a limited budget. "Money," I tell them, "is no guarantee of taste and the fitness of things, and an overstuffed closet is often as bare as a skeleton when it comes to wearable apparel."

My motto is that the audience should notice the actors, not the clothes.

We don't make glamorous movies today. Everything now is very realistic, artistic - and depressing. When is the last time you you saw a wonderful musical or a fabulous fantasy?

With women, there's a basic female instinct of caring deeply about the way they look; women stars have a narcissist complex.

I have yet to see one completely unspoiled star, except for the animals-like Lassie.

The cardinal sin is not being badly dressed, but wearing the right thing in the wrong place.
