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

When television killed comedy and love stories, the movie makers went in slugging. They offered the downbeat, the degenerate as competition. This seems to me to be a sad campaign for Hollywood to use to combat box office disaster.

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.

If I weren't a Christian Scientist, and I saw "Trog" advertised on a marquee across the street, I'd think I'd contemplate suicide.

Any actress who appears in public without being well-groomed is digging her own grave.

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!'

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