I was born in front of a camera and really don't know anything else.

I have always known what I wanted, and that was beauty... in every form.

I think the most important thing a woman can have - next to talent, of course - is her hairdresser.

Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite ta a party.

Women's Lib? Poor little things. They always look so unhappy. Have you noticed how bitter their faces are?

It has been said that on screen I personified the American woman.

I believe in the dollar. Everything I earn, I spend!

Hollywood is like life, you face it with the sum total of your equipment.

If you've earned a position, be proud of it. Don't hide it. I want to be recognized. When I hear people say, 'There's Joan Crawford!' I turn around and say, 'Hi! How are you!'

I, Joan Crawford, I believe in the dollar. Everything I earn, I spend.

If you have an ounce of common sense and one good friend you don't need an analyst.

I think that the most important thing a woman can have - next to talent, of course - is her hairdresser.

I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

I need sex for a clear complexion, but I'd rather do it for love.

I love playing bitches. There's a lot of bitch in every woman - a lot in every man.

You have to be self-reliant and strong to survive in this town. Otherwise you will be destroyed.

I am just too much.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

The Democratic party is one that I've always observed. I have struggled greatly in life from the day I was born, and I am honored to be a part of something that focuses on working class citizens and molds them into a proud specimen.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell.

I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigration.

Since it's now fashionable to laugh at the conservative French Academy, I have remained a rebel by joining it.

I'll have to self-publish it because unless you're on the 'New York Times' bestseller lists, anthologies don't sell all that well. However, low sales to a big publisher are a major success to a small one!

I really didn't feel challenged anymore. I wanted to learn something and be excited again... While it can be a family - that environment is actually a family - in the sense that also you sometimes hate each other, you can't stand being around each other and grudges are held... I was getting cranky on 'Criminal Minds.'

For twenty years, Islamic Jihadists have been attacking American interests around the world and we did not take them seriously until September 11th, 2001.

Mental health, for me, is doing everything I can to help this team win. Sitting around not doing anything isn't something I've been too big on since I was young.

If you go too fast you might not notice everything. On the other hand, you don't want to be late.

My aunt in Texas, when she did the hazing things, they had girls swallow oysters. They'd wrap an oyster in dental floss, swallow them, and then pull them back up.

Excellence is not a destination it is a continuous journey that never ends.

You never know when you are doing something that is affecting someone.

There is so much of good in human nature that men grow to like each other upon better acquaintance, and this points to another way in which we may strive to promote the peace of the world.

Bono told me how to dance in high heels and he also told me about U2's Glastonbury performance and how everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong, including him ripping his trousers on stage. I think he was lunging and his trousers ripped! He was telling me how he had to find a new way of performing that didn't involve moving.

I think that haredi children should study the core subjects and that their parents must work, and I believe that there are many haredim who think like me and would be glad to discover that someone is fighting the radical functionaries and rabbis who embitter their lives.

I've had every haircut you could possibly imagine: mullet, tail, dreadlocks, afro, crew cut. It's always been an expression of who I am.

Gospel songs to me are about the mansion in the sky, and washed in the blood of Christ's crimson blood, songs that are filled with biblical wording that's no longer understood by a lot of people.

I'm very easily distracted unless I have music on. Listening to music while I brainstorm makes me think of scenes that would fit the mood of the music I'm playing.

Traditionally, the only way I come up with cartoons is by sitting at my desk and thinking.

Mark Zuckerberg needs no introduction these days, what with all the magazine covers and morning news shows. My mother knows who he is now, and my mother can hardly turn on a computer.

From my perspective, it's really risk management to ensure that humans have the ability to go somewhere else in case there were to be some huge disaster on Earth.

It seems to me that in the western world, culture has something to do with appearance. A person that's out creating good stuff has got to appreciate someone when they take the time to have an appearance that goes with what they're doing.

Discipline yourself to do the things you need to do when you need to do them and the day will come when you will be able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them

Sadly, in any industry and in any work-related environment, females always strive to achieve a certain amount of perfection, whether that be skinny or pretty. It's a constant, in our society.

I never try to convey a message, I just want to tell a story. Why that story in particular? I have no idea, but I have learned to surrender to the muse. I become obsessed with a theme or with certain stories; they haunt me for years, and finally, I write them.

I have a rubbery face.
