I've been very, very successful. It's very satisfying to me.

A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets.

There's no point in working if I'm not involved and interested.

In the '60s, '70s and '80s, everybody was pretty tense on the set.

The John Ford pictures I made are highly regarded, but at the time they didn't seem like that.

I wanted to be on the stage, doing very important emotional roles.

I wanted to be a theater actress, but I thought it would be easier to get to New York and the theater if I had a name than if I just walked the streets as a little girl from California.

It never occurred to me that it would be a big hit internationally and forever.

I had been told by so many people that I was going to be nominated, that I should be nominated, that there wasn't any question about my being nominated. I don't think it was a surprise.

I love working.

I'm amazed. When I was 40, I thought I'd never make 50. And at 50 I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60, I was still going strong and enjoying everything.

The great actresses and actors receive awards for great roles in great films.

When I was little I thought, isn't it nice that everybody celebrates on my birthday? Because it's July 4th.

Claude Rains was what we call an actor's actor. He was very involved with himself and his performance.

When I went back to New York with somewhat of a name, they didn't want movie actresses.

I just finished my 11th book last week, so I'm ready to start the next one.

I have enjoyed acting very much, because I know it's not for real!

It was a struggle treating Claude Rains as my lover, but we were friendly. It was no great love affair.

When I graduated from Santa Monica High in 1927, I was voted the girl most likely to succeed. I didn't realize it would take so long.

I have a private press. I'm a book artist. I publish books of other authors and artists. I do the illustrating. I set the type. I print it myself on my press. I do everything but bind it.

Photoshop makes things look beautiful just as you have special effects in movies. It's just a part of life.

I think that feeling that if one believed absolutely in any cause, then one must have the confidence, the self-certainty, to go through with that particular course of action.

Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.

Anything that's slightly dangerous and gets the heart rate going is my kind of workout.

I think being a parent is knowing how to love. Sometimes love is discipline, sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's listening.

If you don't love me, it does not matter, anyway I can love for both of us.

Renew, release, let go. Yesterday's gone. There's nothing you can do to bring it back. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day.

My mother is my root my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.

There were IBM logos designed for the film, and there were IBM design consultants working with Kubrick on the layout of the controls and computer screens.

The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.

The key is not to figure out what the best people are doing and try to emulate it - rather, figure out what causes people and companies to be successful.

There was a time when going out to parties and dinner parties and clubs was an exciting thing to do. I'd wake up in the morning and immediately think, 'Now what am I doing tonight?' Now I'd be more likely to reach for a book.

You may take great comfort from the fact that suffering inwardly for the sake of truth proves abundantly that one loves it and marks one out as being of the elect.
