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!'

Sensitive husbands don't like second billing. I don't believe Franchot ever for a moment resented the fact that I was a star. Possibly he resented Hollywood's refusal to let him forget it. There was never a doubt in my mind that his talent was greater than mine.

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.

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.

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

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

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