"Taste. You cannot buy such a rare and wonderful thing. You can't send away for it in a catalogue. And I'm afraid it's becoming obsolete."
"Acting is standing up naked and turning around very slowly."
"Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death."
"Flops are a part of life's menu and I've never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses."
"It's fine to have talent, but talent is the last of it. In an acting career, as in an acting performance, you've got to have vitality. The secret of successful acting is identical with a woman's beauty secret: joy in living."
