Then there's that 'You're only as old as you feel' business, which is true to a point, but you can't be Shirley Temple on the Good Ship Lollipop forever. Sooner or later, dammit, you're old.

The 1930s Hollywood was capable of hurting me so much. The things about Hollywood that could hurt me (when I first came) can't touch me now. I suddenly decided that they shouldn't hurt me - that was all.

Make your wardrobe as versatile as an actress. It should be able to play many roles.

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

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

I used to wash my hands every ten minutes. I couldn't step out of the house unless I had gloves on. I wouldn't smoke a cigarette unless I opened the pack myself, and I would never use another cigarette out of that pack if someone else had touched it.

My tears speak for me.
