| 1 | I will never retire. Put that down and underline it. The world is too nice - and so have been all the breaks. |
| 2 | Me temperamental? I never was. Proof of that is that I made four pictures with Willie Wyler, who is a very demanding director. I made two with Rouben Mamoulian who is the same. Two with Ernst Lubitsch, such a dear man. |
| 3 | TV is the toughest medium because there's more strain, but the theatre requires the most work. Movies are the easiest. You can sip coffee between takes. |
| 4 | [on being directed in 'Virginia City' by Michael Curtiz] (He was) a complete madman - mad and adorable. For twelve weeks he yelled at me and I yelled back at him. We're exactly alike. |
| 5 | How can a motion picture reflect real life when it is made by people who are living artificial lives? |
| 6 | I'm a bad judge of a play or film. I turned down It Happened One Night (1934). It won Claudette Colbert an Oscar. I said it was just a silly comedy. |

Just as she had feared, she suffered a major heart attack and died in her hotel suite before getting back to her California home. |
| 4 | She was Margaret Mitchell's first choice to play Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939). |
| 5 | Turned down the part of Ellie Andrews in It Happened One Night (1934). Claudette Colbert was then given the role and won a Best Actress Oscar for her performance. |
| 6 | In 1932, at a time when single-parent adoption was illegal in most states, she adopted a baby boy while between marriages. She adored her son, Michael, and always called him the most important man in her life. |
