I was not cut out to be a rebel.

I do not recall spending long hours in front of a mirror loving my reflection.

I was fine when it came to cheering up others, not so fine with myself.

A flame burns brightest just before it goes out.

The Hollywood structure was monopolistic, run by four or five big studios.

There were days that I worked all the time, without a layoff, or a rest, finishing one picture and reporting for another sometimes on the same day.

In show business the saying seems too often true: it isn't enough to succeed; someone else must fail.
