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

Sure, I'd play an ape if they asked me. Maurice Evans did.

If you have an ounce of common sense and one good friend you don't need an analyst.

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.

If you've earned a position, be proud of it. Don't hide it. I want to be recognized. When I hear people say, 'There's Joan Crawford!' I turn around and say, 'Hi! How are you!'

Send me flowers while I'm alive. They won't do me a damn bit of good after I'm dead.

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.
