What is the thing that Hollywood demands most? Sincerity. No place in the world will pay such a high price for this admirable trait.

A woman’s gifts will make room for her.

It sure looks good to see an honest-to-goodness audience after looking at you all for so long from the silver screen.

I am loathe to get married again. I’ve been married enough; I just prefer to forget it.

I’ve played everything but a harp.

I’m letting no man handle my bank account.

My desire for the part of Mammy was not dominated by selfishness for Hollywood has been good to me and I am grateful.

As for those grapefruit and buttermilk diets, I’ll take roast chicken and dumplings.
