I have been tight as a tick! Fried as a mink! Stiff as a goat!

Say anything about me, darling, as long as it isn't boring.

All my life I've been terrible at remembering people's names. I once introduced a friend of mine as Martini. Her name was actually Olive.

I have enemies I've never met - that's fame.

Bette [Davis] and I are good friends. There's nothing I wouldn't say to her face - both of them.

Too many of our countrymen rejoice in stupidity, look upon ignorance as a badge of honor. They condemn everything they don't understand.

In my lifetime I've been to bed with men, women, and odd pieces of furniture.
