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!'

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

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

There's nothing wrong with my tits, but I don't go around throwing them in people's faces!

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

Nobody can imitate me. You can always see impersonations of Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. But not me. Because I've always drawn on myself only.

If you start watching the oldies, you're in trouble. I feel ancient if "Grand Hotel" or "The Bride Wore Red" comes on. I have a sneaking regard for "Mildred Pierce", but the others do nothing for me.
