Joe Schenck, a top 20th Century-Fox executive, once said to me that he really believed I had a future, and that was because I was the only girl who could survive so many bad pictures.

Trying to make order out of my life was like trying to pick up a jellyfish.

Throughout my career, I was to be cast as a frontier girl, an aristocrat, an Arabian, a Eurasian, a Polynesian, and a Chinese.

I suppose life is a little like that, isn't it, a message in a bottle pitched out to sea, to be carried by the winds and the tides, washing up on the beaches we could never imagine.

When I met Jack Kennedy, he was a serious young man with a dream. He was not a womanizer, not as I understood the term.

How absurd to try to make two men think alike on matters of religion when I cannot make two timepieces agree!

Put hot triggers in the path of motivated people.

The right server for the right job.

Cousins are part of your life so stick with cuz, not friends.

Fear is like water. You need it. And it's good for you, as long as you have the right amount.

If someone is doing something crazy - or what I think is crazy - I'm watching, but also am I keeping the actual seriousness of someone actually running for president in my mind all the time?

We are all, after all, just human beings, and most of us have a lot in common.

Those who practice philosophy in the right way are in training for dying and they fear death least of all men.

If we destroy their environments and communities, we will lose the answers they have to solving our problems, and to the protection of our common futures.

Under his spurning feet, the road Like an arrowly alpine river flowed And the landscape sped away behind Like an ocean flying before the wind.
