I never had a great role in a great film.

When I went back to New York with somewhat of a name, they didn't want movie actresses.

I had been told by so many people that I was going to be nominated, that I should be nominated, that there wasn't any question about my being nominated. I don't think it was a surprise.

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

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

There's no point in working if I'm not involved and interested.

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