“To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.”

The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.

Pray to God and say the lines.

What a fool I was to come to Hollywood where they only understand platinum blondes and where legs are more important than talent.

The only way you can become a legend is in your coffin

Success only breeds a new goal

My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.

I’ve lost my faith in science.

If everybody likes you, you’re pretty dull.

I may not have been wearing a mink coat, but I was traveling with a dog. That should have made you think I was an actress!

The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

I was the female Marlon Brando of my generation.

An affair now and then is good for a marriage. It adds spice, stops it from getting boring. I ought to know.

One can be respected with the truth in Hollywood just as much as anywhere else you know or else I wouldn’t have had a career.

I have been uncompromising, peppery, intractable, monomaniacal, tactless, volatile, and oftentimes disagreeable. I suppose I’m larger than life.

I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn’t dare to make an enemy should get out of the business.

I’d marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he’d be dead within a year.

Come find me in my dreams tonight where love transcends a distant flight.

And you were probably just one of my stories, still made up in my mind. Again.

You were a lovely dream to me but you see, my dreams were never mine to catch up on. – Circumstances.

No one understands and appreciates the American Dream of hard work leading to material rewards better than a non-American.

Treat her like a dream. Follow her, pursue her, and always remind her that you’ll never give up on her.

A girl with stars in her eyes and dreams in her heart.

Let me pour onto your glass and let it overflow with abundant love; for your eyes tell me they need refilling, But all you have now is an empty bottle of escaped homes and dreams.

I couldn’t dream of loving you anymore than I already do, Yet every day I wake up so much more in love with you.
