In two months Joseph Kennedy had taken over my entire life, and I trusted him implicitly to make the most of it.

I didn't want to spend the rest of my life playing Norma Desmond over and over again.

Much as I cared for Joseph Kennedy, he was a classic example of that person in the arts with lots of brains and drive but little taste or talent.

I had sacrificed my entire life to play football.

I don't think I've had a holiday in my entire life that wasn't about my dad's work.

I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then.
