You know, when I first went into the movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father and finally he played my husband. If he had lived I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older.

I can't remember a time when I wasn't acting, so I can't imagine what I would do if I stopped now.

As long as you are curious, you will never be bored.

Hollywood - an emotional Detroit.

I like people to come back and tell me what I did wrong. That's the kindest thing you can do.

I never approved of talkies. Silent movies were well on their way to developing an entirely new art form. It was not just pantomine, but something wonderfully expressive.
