• I think when an actress marries she should leave the stage. She cannot be happy if she is married and remains on the stage. She must care more for her art or for her husband.
• Sin in the theater, I can observe now, is comparable to education in a university: it is there for those who wish to take advantage of it, but fewer do than you might suspect.
• To survive there, you need the ambition of a Latin-American revolutionary, the ego of a grand opera tenor, and the physical stamina of a cow pony.
• I am constantly amazed when I talk to young people to learn how much they know about sex and how little about soap.
• If I ever loved a man better than I love my art, I should marry him and leave the stage. But I have never met such a man.
