Quotes

  • I guess I became an actress because I didn't want to be myself.
  • I am not an adult, that's my explanation of myself. Except when I am working on a set, I have all the inhibitions and shyness of the bashful, backward child . . . unless I have something very much in common with a person, I am lost. I am swallowed up in my own silence.
  • The fact that I did not marry George Bernard Shaw is the only real disappointment I've had.
  • [on Hollywood] I hated the place - not the work, but the lack of privacy, those terrible prying fan magazine writers and all the surrounding exploitation.
  • If people don't like your work, all the still pictures in the world can't help you and nothing written about you, even oceans of it, will make you popular.
  • (on doing interviews) Quite frankly, I'd rather have my throat slit.
