I have always known what I wanted, and that was beauty... in every form.

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.

If you throw a lamb chop in the oven, what's to keep it from getting done?

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

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

I was a strict disciplinarian, perhaps too strict at times, but my God, without discipline what is life?
