I have a full, rich respect for fashion. I love its whimsy, its humor, its charm and its rewards. I love its vagaries and its demands. I love what it does for women. But I know, with all my heart, that no woman should follow it blindly.
What you don't know intrigues you more than what you do know. I believed all those love stories-the hero was the hero-because that's what I grew up with. I loved the romance and the roses, but when it came to a more realistic life, I would back away.
When we came to do the take, I did it my way. I played it with all the emotional abandon I possessed and loved every second of my performance.
A face that is really lovely in repose can fall apart if, when its owner stars to talk, she distorts every feature.
Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you.
If you want a place in the sun, you have to expect a few blisters
As soon as I get home from a day of work, I bathe, brush my hair, put on fresh makeup, and slip into a hostess gown.
At the beginning of World War II, a fine young actor placed his whole career-work, money, popularity-on the altar of what he believed... Our country was at war. Very few cared what he said. He was accused, judged, vilified.
One of the loveliest women I know has the most unrelieved assemblage of homely features I've ever seen.
So I'm a square! Well, at least I'm not a square peg in a round hole.
Neither sheep nor mavericks will ever get to the head of the class. Ignorance is forgivable, unorthodoxy is tolerated. Bad taste and expulsion are synonymous.
Way off in 2060, I wonder what we do today will look like in perspective, and after it's been sifted through the objectivity of time.
I well remember how sure I was of myself when I was in my teens. I'm not critical of teens today.
I was always independent. I never wanted to follow the crowd, but I think that following the crow is more typical of teenage behavior today than in my day. And I do deplore it.
