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

My tears speak for me.

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

Sensitive husbands don't like second billing. I don't believe Franchot ever for a moment resented the fact that I was a star. Possibly he resented Hollywood's refusal to let him forget it. There was never a doubt in my mind that his talent was greater than mine.

While making "Possessed", I wept each morning on my drive to the studio, and I wept all the way back home. I found it impossible to sleep at night, so I'd lie in bed contemplating the future. I fear it with all my heart and soul even as I fear the dark.

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.

I need sex for a clear complexion, but I'd rather do it for love.
