Life is a little like a message in a bottle, to be carried by the winds and the tides.

I had known Cole Porter in Hollywood and New York, spent many a warm hour at his home, and met the talented and original people who were drawn to him.

Throughout my career, I was to be cast as a frontier girl, an aristocrat, an Arabian, a Eurasian, a Polynesian, and a Chinese.

The role of a female outlaw was not exactly custom-made for someone recently out of a finishing-school!

I was fortunate enough to work under directors who were, most of them, brilliant, emotional men.

Houses are one of my passions. I probably should have been an interior decorator.

Men are wonderful. I adore them. They always give you the benefit of the doubt.

I had no romantic interest in Gable. I considered him an older man.

Trying to make order out of my life was like trying to pick up a jellyfish.

About my career I was serious and earnest, sometimes impatient.

I was going to live on my salary or go down swinging.

I admire anyone who rids himself of an addiction.

My departure from Hollywood was described as a walk-out. No one understood that I was cracking up.

I have a role now that I think becomes me. I am a grandmother.

Unlike the stage, I never found it helpful to be good in a bad movie.

As an actress, I was trained to show emotion I did not feel, or no emotion at all.

I was not cut out to be a rebel.
