I never wrote just straight women's roles. I liked the strong characters. I don't mean women who have masculine qualities about them, but something that has some intestinal fortitude, some guts to it.

I didn't see myself as any advance guard, or feminist.

A woman in show business isn't honest with herself... so how can she be honest with another woman? We are, all of us, acting every minute of the day and night.

Often I pretended to a cameraman to know less than I did. That way I got more cooperation.

Keeping a feminine approach is vital - men hate bossy females.

I'm mad, they say. I am temperamental and dizzy and disagreeable. Well, let them talk. I can take it. Only one person can hurt me. Her name is Ida Lupino.

You cannot play naive if you're not.

I take a script and mull over it and underline the bits I want to emphasize. When I go to the set, I know exactly what I want to do.

Today it's almost impossible to do it unless you are an actress or writer with power... I wouldn't hesitate right this minute to hire a talented woman if the subject matter were right.

I cannot tolerate fools - won't have anything to do with them. I only want to associate with brilliant people.
