Well, we can skip childhood because I didn't have any. Not one goddam moment on the Good Ship Lollipop.

You know the troubles I've had with my two older children. I can't understand why it turned out so badly. I tried to give them everything. I loved them and tried to keep them near me, even when they didn't return my love. Well, I couldn't make them love me, but they could have shown some respect. I couldn't insist on love, but I could insist on respect.

My tears speak for me.

It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them.

I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

Nobody can imitate me. You can always see impersonations of Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. But not me. Because I've always drawn on myself only.

all that time hanging around the sets, watching Norma Shearer make the most of her three expressions, was a help.
