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.
I think teenage impatience is just plain human nature! I think every generation has to cope with different circumstances, different problems. But it's the world that's changed. Human nature hasn't.
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.
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.
Listening is more than just a very rewarding habit. After awhile you discover what a world of information you can gain from hearing what others say, and If you're interested, you're interesting. All the most popular people are good listeners.
I well remember how sure I was of myself when I was in my teens. I'm not critical of teens today.
My work has brought me into contact with the world's finest designers. I had a lot to learn. I have learned a lot. I found out you can learn a lot about yourself as a person, too-while you're learning how to use fashion in your life.

So, all right, I can't spell. Well, I can always find someone who can!
The fashion-wise woman doesn't run herself frantic trying to keep up with the latest rage, fad or craze.
Every best-dressed woman keeps some of her gowns for years. She's learned that fashion-wisdom is compounded of knowledge, taste, confidence and poise.
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.
