I never weep over lost money, for I figure I'd rather go to the poorhouse once than go there every day.

I have had a couple of marriages, but like every other woman I had a perfect right to them.

By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.

I'm too homely for a prima donna and too ugly for a soubrette.

Never one thing and seldom one person can make for a success. It takes a number of them merging into one perfect whole.

Character is what you have when nobody is looking.

I was born serious and I have earned my bread making other people laugh.
