It's well done if you can do a part and not have the acting show.

I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, and I'm happy, Doctor, I finally won out over it.

You know, I just love Grace Kelly. Not because she was a princess, not because she was an actress, not because she was my friend, but because she was just about the nicest lady I ever met. Grace brought into my life as she brought into yours, a soft, warm light every time I saw her, and every time I saw her was a holiday of its own. No question, I’ll miss her, we’ll all miss her, God bless you, Princess Grace.

My dogs have never been good at things like “sit,” “stay,” or even “come.” I think that we’ve given the tourists a few laughs, especially when the dogs hit the end of their leashes hard enough to drag Gloria down the street.

I’d like to do Harvey again. I did it two years ago with Helen Hayes in New York. It was a joy. I was so glad to do it again because I never thought I did it right the first time.

I lasted one night. They said my playing spoiled people’s appetites.

I don’t need other people. I don’t need help. I can take care of me.

I always stayed for the first curtain call and people always said, ‘Who’s that?’ But this got me started in acting.

Behind Calvary’s cross is the throne of heaven.

After age 70, it’s patch, patch, patch.
