It was a struggle treating Claude Rains as my lover, but we were friendly. It was no great love affair.

I do not need a man. I am devoted to masturbation. I think it's probably one of the most pleasurable experiences in life.

I wanted to be on the stage, doing very important emotional roles.

I have enjoyed acting very much, because I know it's not for real!

The John Ford pictures I made are highly regarded, but at the time they didn't seem like that.

I'm amazed. When I was 40, I thought I'd never make 50. And at 50 I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60, I was still going strong and enjoying everything.

When I was little I thought, isn't it nice that everybody celebrates on my birthday? Because it's July 4th.
