Quote context

[...]

- I claim no credit for this. It just happened.

- And now a little Shirley Temple story. When Shirley came to the theater to leave her footprints she asked me if I'd mind if she took off her shoes and socks. I told her that we couldn't do that because she'd get her feet all full of concrete.

- As usual she had an answer ready: 'We can get some warm water and a towel and I'll wash them very carefully.'

- 'But why,' I asked, 'do you want to make your footprints in bare feet?' -'I just want to be different.'

- Well, if I don't stop now, there's no telling when I will.

- Good luck to you and to this splendid radio theater, which has come to be as much a part of Hollywood as the excellent commodity it represents, Lux Toilet Soap. Thank you.

- And now - as the stars they are - Janet Gaynor and Robert Montgomery.

- I'm glad to be able to take this curtain call, because it gives me a chance to say something that I really want to say as regards 'A Star Is Born.'

- Often when a picture is a success, all the credit goes to the individuals who happen to star in it.

- We're inclined to pass by the off-screen personalities who made that picture possible.

- To Mr. David O. Selznick, the producer of 'A Star Is Born,' and Mr. William Wellman who so brilliantly directed it, and all the others who contributed, I am very grateful.
