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

A happy life is one spent in learning, earning, and yearning.

Never get caught acting.

Fans always write asking why I didn't smile more in films. I smiled in `Annie Laurie`, but I can't recall that it helped much.

Hollywood - an emotional Detroit.

Love is a hard rock between two people and can't be torn apart
