Personal quotes:
[on longtime rival Joan Crawford (I)] I wouldn't piss on her ifshe was on fire.
[in 1982] Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be biggerthan life. It should ALL be bigger than life.
Getting old is not for sissies.
I see - she's the original good time that was had by all.
Until you're known in my profession as a monster, you're not a star.
