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

I was fortunate enough to work under directors who were, most of them, brilliant, emotional men.

I approached everything, my job, my family, my romances, with intensity.

Joe Schenck, a top 20th Century-Fox executive, once said to me that he really believed I had a future, and that was because I was the only girl who could survive so many bad pictures.

Fonda and Gary Cooper had the best sense of timing of all the actors I knew.

When you have spent an important part of your life playing Let's Pretend, it's often easy to see symbolism where none exists.

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