I remember when I was in high school I didn't have a new dress for each special occasion. The girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. The boys, however, never bothered with the subject. They were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.

I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.

To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation. But I'm working on the foundation.

Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.

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

Do not ever go back to that from which decided to leave. As much as you did not ask, and how would you not want to own. Having conquered a mountain, begin to attack the other.

Someone said to me, 'If fifty percent of the experts in Hollywood said you had no talent and should give up, what would you do?' My answer was then and still is, 'If a hundred percent told me that, all one hundred percent would be wrong.'
