I Hated The Whole Idea

I Was Bargaining For Time Away From Hollywood, And Columbia Was Bargaining For Money. I Got What I Wanted And They Got What They Wanted. They Knew I Was So Anxious To Do Born Yesterday That I'd Have Done It For A Dollar. They Gave Me The Next Best Thing.

I Am Not An 'instant' Actor... To Really Do Anything, I've Got To Try It Five Or Six Or A Dozen Times.

I Get Very Nervous Whenever I Think About It. I've Never Done A Serious Play, And I Have Such Awe Of The Woman - She's Really My Only Idol. It's Going To Be A Big Stretch - Certain People Come Out On Stage And Your Face Muscles Automatically Tense And You Get Ready To Smile.

Of Course I Work Hard. Why Shouldn't I? Who Am I To Think I Should Get Things The Easy Way?

I Suppose That If I Could Have Quit, I Would Have, Because In Those Days I Never Wanted To Be An Actress, The Acting Was Something To Do While I Waited For A Chance To Study Writing And Directing. But I Guess I Was Just Meant To Be An Actress. Because, Here I Am.
