The Howard Hughes I knew began to change after his plane crash in 1941.

I remember the 1940s as a time when we were united in a way known only to that generation. We belonged to a common cause-the war.

About my career I was serious and earnest, sometimes impatient.

I ask myself: would I have been any worse off if I had stayed home or lived on a farm, and instead of shock treatments received rest and quiet and the good medication?

Movie failures are like the common cold. You can stay in bed and take aspirin for six days and recover. Or you can walk around and ignore it for six days and recover.

I'm not sure I can explain the nature of Jack Kennedy's charm, but he took life just as it came.
