Well, We Can Skip Childhood

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!'

When Television Killed Comedy And Love Stories, The Movie Makers Went In Slugging. They Offered The Downbeat, The Degenerate As Competition. This Seems To Me To Be A Sad Campaign For Hollywood To Use To Combat Box Office Disaster.

I Had Read The Criticisms Of Me And My Movies And They Were Discerning. They Said That Crawford Needs A New Deal, And They Asked If I Was Doomed To Explore Forever The Emotional Misfortunes Of The Super-sexed Modern Young Woman. And So, To Break Away From The Pattern, I Wanted To Do "the Gorgeous Hussy". Selznick Laughed At Me. 'you Can't Do A Costume Picture. You're Too Modern.' But I Begged And Begged And Begged, And So They Let Me Do It. I Was Totally Miscast.

Dammit, Don't You Dare Ask God To Help Me!

Be Afraid Of Nothing.
