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

Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.

In the months leading up to World War II, there was a tendency among many Americans to talk absently about the trouble in Europe. Nothing that happened an ocean away seemed very threatening.

I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.

Fonda and Gary Cooper had the best sense of timing of all the actors I knew.

Cars, furs, and gems were not my weaknesses.
