There are only seven movie stars in the world whose name alone will induce American bankers to lend money for movie productions, and the only woman on the list is Ingrid Bergman.
The only really good thing about acting in movies is that there's no heavy lifting.
A shot of brandy can save your life, but a bottle of brandy can kill you.
My father used to say, 'Let them see you and not the suit. That should be secondary.'
Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one's own past failings.
When I'm married I want to be single, and when I'm single I want to be married.
We have our factory, which is called a stage. We make a product, we color it, we title it and we ship it out in cans.

I began by acting like the person I wanted to be, and eventually I became that person.
Simplicity, to me, has always been the essence of good taste.
