[last words] "Is everybody happy? I want everybody to be happy. I know I'm happy." "You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizons. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about - the more you have left when anything happens." "We who play, who entertain for a few years, what can we leave that will last?" [On Hollywood] "The people are unreal. The flowers are unreal, they don't smell. The fruit is unreal, it doesn't taste of anything. The whole place is a glaring, gaudy nightmarish set, built up in the desert." "To be a success an actress must have the face of Venus, the brain of Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of Macaulay, the figure of Juno and the hide of a rhinocerous." "Half the people in Hollywood are dying to be discovered and the other half are afraid they will be."
