Only when a woman decides not to have children, can a woman live like a man. That's what I've done.
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but "what are you going to do now?" is the only thing that matters.
I don't regret anything I've ever done; as long as I enjoyed it at the time
With all the opportunities I had, I could have done more. And if I'd done more, I could have been quite remarkable.
I loved Spencer Tracy. I would have done anything for him.
Drive on. We'll sweep up the blood later!

If you want to give up the admiration of thousands of men for the distain of one, go ahead, get married.
. . . as one goes through life one learns that if you don't paddle your own canoe, you don't move.
