I wish I were supernaturally strong so I could put right everything that is wrong.

I want to be left alone.

Mr. Hitler was big on me. He kept writing and inviting me to come to Germany, and if the war hadn't started when it did, I would have gone and I would have taken a gun out of my purse and shot him, because I am the only person who would not have been searched.

I always look well when I'm near death.

I live like a monk: with one toothbrush, one cake of soap, and a pot of cream.

My talents fall within definite limitations. I am not as versatile an actress as some think.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be let alone!' There is all the difference.
