I loved to eat. For all of Hollywood's considerable rewards, I was hungry for most of those twenty years.

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

Where there is hope, there is no despair.

I used up every cent I had earned as an actress.

When my mood was high, I seemed normal, even buoyant. I felt smarter. I had secrets. I could see God in a light bulb

My departure from Hollywood was described as a walk-out. No one understood that I was cracking up.

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