You want success and then when you do get it, you don't want it because of the attention.

It's hard for a man to live with a successful woman - they seem to resent you so much. Very few men are generous enough to accept success in their women.

I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.

How oddly do life and death jostle each other in this strange world of ours! How nearly allied are smiles and tears!

I decided to retire from show business at the age of 17, because I didn't like it a bit.

In truth, it requires not only a large intellect, but a large heart, to judge with becoming charity of the peculiar temptations of riches.

No wedding bells for me anymore. I've been happily married to my profession for years.
