I have enjoyed acting very much, because I know it's not for real!

A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets.

I do not need a man. I am devoted to masturbation. I think it's probably one of the most pleasurable experiences in life.

The great actresses and actors receive awards for great roles in great films.

When I was little I thought, isn't it nice that everybody celebrates on my birthday? Because it's July 4th.

I'm amazed. When I was 40, I thought I'd never make 50. And at 50 I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60, I was still going strong and enjoying everything.

When I graduated from Santa Monica High in 1927, I was voted the girl most likely to succeed. I didn't realize it would take so long.

When I went back to New York with somewhat of a name, they didn't want movie actresses.

It was a struggle treating Claude Rains as my lover, but we were friendly. It was no great love affair.

I wanted to be on the stage, doing very important emotional roles.

I quit after my seven-year contract with Universal was up. I quit for 33 years.

I am not a visionary. I'm an engineer. I'm happy with the people who are wandering around looking at the stars but I am looking at the ground and I want to fix the pothole before I fall in.

Prefer to be defeated in the presence of the wise than to excel among fools.

Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.

It's like being in love, discovering your best friend.

We all think we have time, you know. It's this miracle substance and there seems to be so much of it, and then all of a sudden, it's gone.

All union is effected by love, and love is not love without trust.

I like people recognizing me.

Your life is important. Fight for it. Honour your highest potentials.

I believe in a uniform for work, but why, because we're men, do we have to be ghettoised into grey suits?

You can get a new phone or new trainers (sneakers) but you've only got one body so you have to look after it. I don't smoke, or drink a lot of alcohol, and I train almost every day.
