I was very thin, like a boy, and I was very un-sexy.
The best imitation in the world is not half as good as a poor original.
I would much rather be a bad Luise Rainer than a second someone else.
In my acting, I have tried to do this - to present to audiences a living creature in whom they can recognise themselves or someone they know.
I was one of the horses of the Louis B. Mayer stable, and I thought the films I was given after my Academy Awards were not worthy.
I am sensitive to life, and somehow acting comes to me. I can't explain it.
I don't believe in anything artificial. I don't believe in makeup.
