I never had a great role in a great film.

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

I've been very, very successful. It's very satisfying to me.

When I graduated from Santa Monica High in 1927, I was voted the girl most likely to succeed. I didn't realize it would take so long.

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

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

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