For Years After I Resigned,

There Aren't Many Male Stars - That's A Loose Term - Like Kirk [douglas] Around. Most Of Those Virile Personalities Have To Keep Working, Continue The Image Because They Can't Do Anything Else. They Don't Even Read. Their Real Identity Is In Making Those Pictures. They Have To Keep Jumping On Horses And Hitting Somebody On The Head With A Gun.

I Was Always A Self-conscious Person.

I Owe Bankhead A Gift; She Made A Director Out Of Me.

I Was Taken In By What Might Be Called The Hard Times Version Of The Communists' Advertising Or Recruiting Technique.
