I didn't let anyone push me into things I didn't want to do where my career was concerned. So why did I crumble when it came to men?
Working with Ty Power was exciting. In those days, he was the biggest romantic swashbuckler in the world. Murderously handsome! But what I loved most about Ty Power was his wicked sense of humor.
Comedy is difficult, especially slapstick. The trick is to have fun while you are performing it.
Empathy provides more than just information about relationships. It is an expression of being in relationship. It is not just a means to better healing relationship, but because it recenters relationship as a central organizing feature of psychic life, empathy itself is healing. The experience of being known and accepted deeply by another, being aware of another being aware of you, what Jordan calls "mutual empathy".
It turns out that our notions of what a 'self' is and how it might feel fulfilled have no more objective status than most of the rest of reality. It seems we make ourselves up as we go along.
Charles Laughton signed me to my first movie contract at 17. He later asked my parents if he could adopt me.
I'm terrified about the day that I enter the gates of heaven and God says to me, just a minute.
Speaking as an actress, I wish all actors would be more like Duke Wayne. And speaking as a person, it would be nice if all people could be honest and as genuine as he is. This is a real man.
I have never lost my faith in God.
There is nothing worse than having your personal problems become somebody else's entertainment.
I dainty little lass I wasn't. I looked twice my age until I turned 10 or 11.
I'm really honestly terrified about how much I should tell and how much I should still keep secret.
Being an Irishwoman means many things to me. An Irishwoman is strong and feisty. She has guts and stands up for what she believes in. She believes she is the best at whatever she does and proceeds through life with that knowledge. She can face any hazard that life throws her way and stay with it until she wins. She is loyal to her kinsmen and accepting of others. She's not above a sock in the jaw if you have it coming.
I am like many of the women I have played onscreen.
