If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through. What am I supposed to do, look intelligent?

Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented. No man wants to hug a padded bird cage.

I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.

If there is only one thing in my life that I am proud of, it's that I've never been a kept woman.

I want to say to the people, if I am a star, the people made me a star. No studio, no person, but the people did.

But chiefly, no lies! No lies about there being a Santa Claus or about the world being full of noble and honorable people all eager to help each other and do good to each other. I'll tell her there are honor and goodness in the world, the same as there are diamonds and radium.

I've always felt those articles somehow reveal more about the writers than they do about me.
