I always took it for granted that there would be life after Hollywood.

What the public expects and what is healthy for an individual are two very different things.

I remember when I first walked into Mayer's cavernous office. You had to walk 50 yards to get to him, and in that time he could really study everything about you.

When you're out of sight for as long as I was, there's a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.

Clark Gable was the first to have called me a mermaid.

I always felt that if I made a movie, it would be one movie; I didn't see how they could make 26 swimming movies.

I ended up buying a restaurant. Already we had invested in a gas station and a metal products plant.
