Goethe said, 'Talent is developed in privacy, ' you know?And it's really true. There is a need for aloneness which I don't think most people realize for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting.
Couldn't we end this interview with what I really want to say? That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship -- everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers. If we could end this article saying just that, we'd get down to what we should all be talking about. Please don't make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe.
The worst thing that happens to people when they dress up and go to a party is that they leave their real selves at home.
Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity.
What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers.
I want to say to the people, if I am a star, the people made me a star. No studio, no person, but the people did.
I never used to bother with exercises. Now I spend at least 10 minutes each morning working out with small weights

I'm personally opposed to a deep tan because I like to feel blond all over.
I doubt if any doctor could recommend a more nourishing breakfast for a working girl in a hurry.
By nature, I suppose I have a languorous disposition
I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.
I just got to feel that whoever I marry has some real regard for me.
