Actors are as anxious about the state of audiences as aviators are over weather conditions.

When an actress is younger, she likes to lower her age, but when she is older, she likes to add to her years.

A flair for publicity does not necessarily mean a flair for acting.

Authentic stardom … is a gift which, if it is to have any permanent significance, must be bestowed by a public rather than a manager.

The audience may not have felt it was right, and the author may have felt a little upset, but every part I’ve played I’ve twisted around in my mind until I’ve made it into something of my own. Looking back over it, I didn’t deliberately sit down and plan like that, but it does read like it.
