It's amazing to find that so many people, who I thought really knew me, could have thought that 'Sunset Boulevard' was autobiographical. I've got nobody floating in my swimming pool.

Much as I cared for Joseph Kennedy, he was a classic example of that person in the arts with lots of brains and drive but little taste or talent.

In two months Joseph Kennedy had taken over my entire life, and I trusted him implicitly to make the most of it.

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

All creative people should be required to leave California for three months every year.

One of the networks sent me a TV set to watch. I didn't care for the medium. It depressed me.

My sculpture is very personal; for years my subjects were family and close, close friends.
