I remember most clearly when a teenage Christopher spat in my face. He said, "I hate you". It's pretty hard to overlook that. I couldn't.

If I can't be me, I don't want to be anybody. I was born that way.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

I think that the most important thing a woman can have - next to talent, of course - is her hairdresser.

Of all the actresses ... to me, only Faye Dunaway has the talent and the class and the courage it takes to make a real star.

There was a saying around MGM: "Norma Shearer got the productions, Greta Garbo supplied the art, and Joan Crawford made the money to pay for both".

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.
