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

When something happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.

Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death.

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.

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.

Where is there beauty when you see deprivation and starvation?

Acting is standing up naked and turning around very slowly.
