Juan Tripp was a friend. Good name for an airline man, huh? Juan Tripp after another?

When I'm in New York I look at the Empire State Building and feel as though it belongs to me ... or is it vice versa?

The producers who wanted me to do it liked me and trusted me, and more than one scene was only one take, because I'd plan ahead what I thought would be appropriate for that scene-so one take was enough.

Lillian Gish thought that there should be a cabinet position for the arts and I think she was right. I think she was right.

Cary Grant and I were doing a play in New York. He had a crush on me. Whenever we went to a party, he would always sit on the floor beside me. I thought that was kind of beautiful, like that's where he wanted to be.

It was good for us, I suppose. Those kinds of times produce qualities in us that make us better for having had them. My parents were not getting along. My mother was quite intolerant of friendships that were being developed.

Sometimes I worked with just a background of a rock or a tree or black velvet, and just had to imagine the whole thing.
