Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality

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.

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 loved acting. I didn’t particularly like being a movie star.

I get up at seven for the make-up, Rita Hayworth at six, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis at five. I don’t want to know the time when I’ll have to come to the studio even earlier.

The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.
