When I die, my epitaph should read: She Paid the Bills. That's the story of my private life.

I was 25 and the most popular celebrity in the world, with the possible exception of my friend Mary Pickford.

Nobody gets something for nothing.

The Paramount executives were so pleased with Sunset Boulevard that they asked me to do a publicity tour.

Sunset Boulevard opened in August 1950, and it was pronounced the best movie ever made about Hollywood.

I consider anybody who weighs over 200 pounds fat, and time was when I could not refrain from telling such people so.

I've given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages. You can't divorce a book.
