It's fine to have talent, but talent is the last of it. In an acting career, as in an acting performance, you've got to have vitality. The secret of successful acting is identical with a woman's beauty secret: joy in living.

The White House is one of the few places in downtown Washington where you can get something to eat after 11 o'clock at night.

Taste. You cannot buy such a rare and wonderful thing. You can't send away for it in a catalogue. And I'm afraid it's becoming obsolete.

Seal my lips on aches and pains. They are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

Success is a public affair. Failure is a private funeral.

Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic.

Flops are a part of life's menu and I've never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses.
