You can't always be a leading lady.

Isn't hope an incredible, a wonderfully demented thing?

Everything in this country [the US] has got to be good looks and unlined faces and thin bodies and people running around in skirts slit up to their ass. It has nothing to do with thinking or with being a human being. There is life in mature people; it's not all over at 24½.

The reason you get married is to be together, not to be separated.

I am not a wealthy woman. I wish to hell I was, but I never had a wealthy man.

I always brought up my children not to believe in Mothers Day gifts, and now I regret it.

Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. They only think of stardom. If you photograph well, that's enough. I have a terrible time distinguishing one from another. Girls wear their hair the same, and are much too anorexic-looking.
