"Acting is standing up naked and turning around very slowly." "Success is a public affair. Failure is a private funeral." "At MGM there was a first wave of top stars, and a second wave to replace them in case they got difficult. I was second in line of defence, behind Myrna Loy." "Flops are part of a life's menu and I've never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses." "In all those types of films I wore a tan suit, a grey suit, a beige suit and then a negligee for the seventh reel near the end when I would admit to my best friend on the telephone that what I really wanted was to become a little housewife." "Taste. You cannot buy such a rare and wonderful thing. You can't send away for it in a catalogue. And I'm afraid it's becoming obsolete." "Taking joy in life is a woman's best cosmetic."
