I am not the kind of woman who excuses her mistakes while reminding us of what used to be.
I never understood the theory, once popular among doctors, that blamed mental disorders on too little or too much mother love. My own mother was my darling.
Trying to make order out of my life was like trying to pick up a jellyfish.
there are many ways to fail. Some reject success. And others do not recognize it when success comes.
I had known Cole Porter in Hollywood and New York, spent many a warm hour at his home, and met the talented and original people who were drawn to him.
I was plunged into what was known as the debutante social whirl. This was one of the ways fathers justified their own hard work and sacrifices.
The Howard Hughes I knew began to change after his plane crash in 1941.
I was going to live on my salary or go down swinging.
I had no romantic interest in Gable. I considered him an older man.
I needed to be accepted, not humored. I intended to act.
we Irish don't really need thousands of people surging behind a big brass band to have a parade. One guitar player and a few people whistling will do the job.
I used to annoy my father by telling him how much I felt luck was with me.
I do not recall spending long hours in front of a mirror loving my reflection.
I was not cut out to be a rebel.
