I think that carrying on a life that is meant to be private in public is a breach of taste, common sense, and mental hygiene.

Most of the sex I've seen on the screen looks like an expression of hostility towards sex.

I admire some of the people on the screen today, but most of them look like everybody else. In our day we had individuality. Pictures were more sophisticated. All this nudity is too excessive and it is getting very boring. It will be a shame if it upsets people so much that it brings on the need for censorship. I hate censorship. In the cinema there's no mystery. No privacy. And no sex, either. Most of the sex I've seen on the screen looks like an expression of hostility towards sex.

When I think of [my relationship with Gable], considering the way it started, it was curious. We became devoted to each other. We weren't lovers-he was in love with Carole Lombard...we eventually became more like siblings. Nobody believes that and you can understand why...but our relationship was unique. Oh he sometimes gave me the macho routine when people were watching but he changed when we were alone.

I got rid of all those reporters.

Life is not a having and a getting, but a being and a becoming.

Some perfect wife I am. I've been married four times, divorced four times, have no children, and can't boil an egg.
