In my day, we earned that recognition.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cLove is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone \u2013 but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cActing should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should ALL be bigger than life.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI went back to work because someone had to pay for the groceries.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cSuccess only breeds a new goal.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThere was more good acting at Hollywood parties than ever appeared on the screen.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI would advise any woman against having an affair with a married man believing he will ever leave his wife, no matter how often he says his wife does not understand him. Love is not as necessary to a man\u2019s happiness as it is to a woman\u2019s. If her marriage is satisfactory, a woman will seldom stray. A man can be totally contented and still be out howling at the moon.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cTo 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.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019d marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me and guarantee that he\u2019d be dead within a year.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI will never be below the title.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIf Hollywood didn\u2019t work out, I was prepared to be the best secretary in the world.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWe movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWe\u2019re all busy little bees, full of stings, making honey day and night, aren\u2019t we honey?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWithout wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cYou know what I\u2019m going to have on my gravestone? \u2018She did it the hard way.&#8217;\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cYou should know me well enough by now to know I don\u2019t ask for things I don\u2019t think I can get.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cMen become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn\u2019t do much for women, though we do have an advantage: make-up.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cMy passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cPeople often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cPsychoanalysis. Almost went three times \u2013 almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I\u2019ve seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThis has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI think I\u2019ll have a large order of prognosis negative.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI was the Marlon Brando of my generation.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI will not retire while I\u2019ve still got my legs and my make-up box.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t worry too much about your heart. You can always put that award where your heart ought to be.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cDiscipline 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.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cHollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI am just too much.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI don\u2019t take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI have been uncompromising, peppery, intractable, monomaniacal, tactless, volatile, and oftentimes disagreeable\u2026 I suppose I\u2019m larger than life.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI never did pal around with actresses.
