Life is not about having and getting. It's about being and becoming.

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

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.

They say the movies should be more like life; I think life should be more like the movies.

I was glamorous because of magicians like George Folsey, James Wong Howe, Oliver Marsh, Ray June, and all those other great cinematographers. I trusted those men and the other experts who made us beautiful. The rest of it I didn't give a damn about. I didn't fuss about my clothes, my lighting, or anything else, but, believe me, some of them did.

I had these slinky eyes and a sense of humor.

I was a homely kid with freckles that came out every spring and stuck on me till Christmas.
