"Men always fall for frigid women because they put on the best show." "With Nick Arnstein, I was miserably happy. With Billy Rose, I was happily miserable." "I am not sorry.

I've done everything in theatre except marry a property man. I've been a soubrette in burlesque and I've accompanied stereopticon slides.

I've painted the house boards and I've sold tickets and I've been fired by George M. Cohan. I've played in London before the king and in Oil City before miners with lanterns in their caps."
