hands house gloves
I used to wash my hands every ten minutes. I couldn't step out of the house unless I had gloves on. I wouldn't smoke a cigarette unless I opened the pack myself, and I would never use another cigarette out of that pack if someone else had touched it.
sexy people faces
There's nothing wrong with my tits but I don't go around throwing them in people's faces.
unhappy littles faces
Women's Lib? Poor little things. They always look so unhappy. Have you noticed how bitter their faces are?
wise party home
Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite ta a party.
play apes ifs
Sure, I'd play an ape if they asked me. Maurice Evans did.
teenage hate faces
I remember most clearly when a teenage Christopher spat in my face. He said, "I hate you". It's pretty hard to overlook that. I couldn't.
office poison bricks
Box-office poison? Mr. Louis B. Mayer always asserted that the studio had built Stage 22, Stage 24 and the Irving Thalberg Building, brick by brick, from the income on my pictures.
office competition hollywood
When television killed comedy and love stories, the movie makers went in slugging. They offered the downbeat, the degenerate as competition. This seems to me to be a sad campaign for Hollywood to use to combat box office disaster.
grateful giving coal
Mr. Cukor is a hard task-master, a fine director and he took me over the coals giving me the roughest time I have ever had. And I am eternally grateful.
tears speak
My tears speak for me.
husband sensitive billing
Sensitive husbands don't like second billing.
grandmother auntie graves
I absolutely will not allow anyone to call me grandmother. They can call me Auntie Joan, Dee-Dee, Cho-Cho, anything but grandmother. It pushes a woman almost to the grave.

discipline what-is-life strict
I was a strict disciplinarian, perhaps too strict at times, but my God, without discipline what is life?
