I'll be goddamned if I'm going to stay in a business where I have to get up earlier and earlier and it takes longer and longer for me to get in front of a camera.

I never say 'never,' and I never say 'always.'

I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does.

My parents, despite their serious attitude toward life in general, and that of their children in particular, were very broadminded people. There was no such thing as a bad profession for them. As I was their daughter, they knew that, whatever profession I chose, I would do it well. That was enough for them. There was always trust among the Kellys.

Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family.

I’ve always treated my children as beings in their own right. I respect their feelings and aspirations entirely.

As an unmarried woman, I was thought to be a danger.
