Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I'm past that age.
My greatest strength is common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.
Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.
Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.
Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.

To be loved is very demoralizing.
Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
It's a business you go into because you're an egocentric. It's a very embarrassing profession.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.
Trying to be fascinating is an asinine position to be in.
It's a rather rude gesture, but at least it's clear what you mean.
Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn't interest you, don't do it - I would have made a terrible mother.
I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.
Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
Acting is the most minor of gifts. After all, Shirley Temple could do it when she was four.
Never complain. Never explain.
