The Howard Hughes I knew began to change after his plane crash in 1941.

My departure from Hollywood was described as a walk-out. No one understood that I was cracking up.

It was the fashion of the time, still is, to feel that all actors are neurotic, or they would not be actors.

In later years, I craved foods that were almost always fattening.

I loved to eat. For all of Hollywood's rewards, I was hungry for most of those 20 years.

I have a role now that I think becomes me. I am a grandmother.

I ask myself: Would I have been any worse off if I had stayed home or lived on a farm instead of shock treatments and medication?

I am not the kind of woman who excuses her mistakes while reminding us of what used to be.

I always tried to play my hunches.

Houses are one of my passions. I probably should have been an interior decorator.
