Quote context

- What's the basis of your choice? The best subjects for your magazine covers?

- No. Magazine covers are chosen to acknowledge the popularity of certain established or rising young players.

- I'm guiding myself by what strikes me as being the typical American conception of beauty.

- By this I mean normal, charming, finely chiseled features, clear expressive eyes, intelligence, poise... Well, to be brief and honest... loveliness.

- Which predominates in your list? The old-fashioned type of yesterday or the athletic girl of today?

- Frankly, I don't believe the American ideal of real beauty has or will ever change.

- I think every man admires the lovely dainty feminine woman. If she's truly beautiful, she'll look beautiful in crinolines or slacks.

- So, from the silent days onward, here's my all-American team, selections representing every section of the continent: Alice Joyce, Corinne Griffith, Clara Kimball Young, Billie Dove, Mary Nolan...

- Joan Crawford, Janet Gaynor, Jeanette MacDonald, Dolores Del Rio, Norma Shearer, and Madeleine Carroll.

- And for a second team I'd say: Ann Harding, Carole Lombard, Joan Bennett, Anita Louise, Madge Bellamy, Virginia Bruce, Mary Astor, Gloria Stuart, Olivia de Havilland, Mary Bryan, and Marla Shelton.

Let's make this thing international!

Do you still love him or do you just feel sorry for him? -Oh, it's so hard to tell where one leads off and the other begins.

You're looking sad, darling. What other troubles have you got? -None. I was just playing a scene with myself.

Could you do it? Could you do it even if it broke your heart? Because for every dream that you make come true, you'll pay the price in heartbreak.
