I hated school . . . . One of the reasons was a learning disability, dyslexia, which no one understood at the time. I still can't spell . . .
As an actress, I have to be objective about myself. If I don't criticize myself, there are plenty who will do a find job of it for me!
Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home.
If you have enthusiasm, you have a very dynamic, effective companion to travel with you on the road to Somewhere.
I was deaf and dumb and blind to all but me, myself and I.
In 1949 there was a new thing called Television, to which my agency and advisers opposed as a performance medium.
I don't yearn to be a child again.
I've always been scared to death of pain - afraid, even, to think of it.
Just because you want to be glamorous, don't be a sheep about your eye makeup.
A charming woman is a busy woman.
I believe in the Golden Rule. I believe in practicing it.
Wearing the correct dress for any occasion is a matter of good manners.
I do not hold with those who think it is all right to do whatever you want so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Who's to be the judge of that?
Giving credit where credit is due is a very rewarding habit to form. Its rewards are inestimable.
