I really understand where Alice is coming from - I've been in exactly the same place coming from a small town and knowing that I need to do other things, that I have to leave.

I'm not too big on cats, and sometimes I'll say something like that, and people get so mad at me. But the truth is, I don't care if they get mad.

If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.

We all go a little mad sometimes.

I have quite a house. People come over and I go, 'I know, I'm sorry.'

I don't get mad too much.

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 can't stay mad at somebody who makes you laugh.
