I had always loved John Ford's pictures. And I came to love him, too, but I was frightened to death working for him. He used the shock treatment while directing me.

I never felt I belonged. I was always an outsider.

I wondered what I would do if I didn't have my God to turn to and be able to read the Book He had divinely inspired.

I've never been able to feel that there is anything undignified about making your living by the sweat of your brow.

Today I blame only certain agents for my long eclipse as a public entertainer.

I don't care to dress up except when it is necessary or good for my business.

I never accepted the idea that I was all through. I guess no person who has once been a star can do that, ever.
