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.

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.

Mr. Hitchcock taught me everything about cinema. It was thanks to him that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes.

I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel.

My nerves could use a drink.

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