If everybody likes you, you are not a very interesting person.
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.
stars actresses movie-star
Joan Crawford is a movie star. I am an actress.
doors clothes black
At 50, I thought proudly: Here we are, half century! Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black Afro wig, wore black clothes and hung a black wreath on my door.
artist differences actors
Temperament is something that is an integral part of the artist. Not temper, temperament. There is a vast difference.
names committed inhumanity
Almost as many inhumanities are committed in the name of love as in the name of religion.
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!

You've got to know someone pretty well to hate them.
pride proud oscars
I have always felt proud of my Oscars and my numerous nominations. This pride is due to the fact it was the result of voters from the members of my own profession. This, of course, is a great compliment for one's work. I hope each winner of an Oscar is as thrilled as I was when I received mine.
cheer people romance
People stood on their chairs, cheering and waving. And it was all for me! Waves of love flooded the stage and washed over me. I started to cry. The sweetness of such a moment is impossible to describe. One is both lover and beloved. ... I'd found the one true, enduring romance of my life.

There's only one way to work -- like hell.

Strong women only marry weak men.
honesty thinking hollywood
They say that in Hollywood one can't be honest, but I think honesty counts in Hollywood just as much as it does anywhere else. I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
writing thinking female
Women are the essential part of the theater but the writers are not writing about women. I think they're too perplexed about the whole female situation probably.
