I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don't remember ever having seen one weep.

I survived because I was tougher than anybody else

I'm the nicest goddamn dame that ever lived.

Why am I so good at playing bitches? I think it's because I'm not a bitch. Maybe that's why Miss Crawford always plays ladies.

Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world
