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

For acting, darlings, is the world's most perilous trade. Compared with actors, steeple jacks and deep-sea divers lead snug and placid lives.

The less I behave like Whistler's mother the night before, the more I look like her the morning after.

Whatever you have read I have said is almost certainly untrue, except if it is funny, in which case I definitely said it.

I'm not childless, darling. I am childfree.

If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience.

I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.
