I played the star Joan Crawford, not the woman Joan Crawford, to the hilt. Partly because of the image thing. Partly because I felt that I photographed better than I actually looked, so I tried desperately to make sure my makeup and wardrobe lived up to the image on screen.
If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.
The hardest thing about being a star is that you have to be something you’re not.
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.
I need sex for a clear complexion, but I'd rather do it for love.
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!'
If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.
