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 had always known what I wanted, and that was beauty... in every form... a beautiful house, beautiful man, a beautiful life and image. I was ambitious to get the money which would attain all that for me.

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

Dammit, don't you dare ask God to help me!

Find your happiest colours - the ones that make you feel good.

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

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