I've found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them.
My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I'm not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I'm 50?
What's the good of drawing in the next breath if all you do is let it out and draw in another?
Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you.
How do I know about a man's needs for a sex symbol? I'm a girl.
Why is it you always meet people when you look your worst?
Fame is like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.
Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented. No man wants to hug a padded bird cage.
Girls shouldn't worry about being the equal of men in the business world.
I don't want everybody to see exactly where I live, what my sofa or my fireplace looks like.
I enjoy acting when you really hit it right.
I myself would like to become more disciplined within my work.
I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll be a great actress.
I'm looking forward to becoming a marvelous - excuse the word marvelous - character actress. like Marie Dressler, like Will Rogers.
