laughing acting actors
I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don't remember ever having seen one weep.
successful three analysis
Psychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.
years location sound
Locations are all tough, all miserable. I never left the sound stage for 18 years at Warners. We never went outside the studio, not even for big scenes.
boys hay famous-women
I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.
goal aries new-goal
Success only breeds a new goal
ego males exception
The male ego with few exceptions is elephantine to start with.
hero giving people
There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.
funny sexy waiting
From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it.
way hell one-way
There's only one way to work -- like hell.
appreciation stars today
Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.
character play childhood
Playing our parts. Yes, we all have to do that and from childhood on, I have found that my own character has been much harder to play worthily and far harder at times to comprehend than any of the roles I have portrayed.
time women originals
She's the original good time who was had by all.
dog thinking should-have
I may not have been wearing a mink coat, but I was traveling with a dog. That should have made you think I was an actress!
hate wells knows
You've got to know someone pretty well to hate them.
