“Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child.He needs guidance.If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.”

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.

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.

You can say whatever you want about me, I’m not really bothered. But when it starts to upset people I care about or I hear about it from my mum, then that’s a problem.

I care not if I live but a day and a night, so long as my deeds live after me.

They criticize me for harping on the obvious; if all the folks in the United States would do the few simple things they know they ought to do, most of our big problems would take care of themselves.

Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.

You vote yourselves salaries out of the public funds and care only for your own personal interests; hence the state limps along.

Be careful who you get advice from. I get advice from people who are where I want to be.

Do what makes you happy, and don’t care what others think.

You wouldn’t care so much about what people think about you if you knew how little they did
