I've learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for.

Just after I entered my teens I suddenly entertained an insatiable enthusiasm for the delightful habit of criticizing others.

A face is like the outside of a house, and most faces, like most houses, give us an idea of what we can expect to find inside.

I've a full-length triple-panel mirror in which I can see every possible angle, and I spend quite a lot of time in front of it.

A pleasant voice, which has to include clear enunciation, is not only attractive to those who hear it... its appeal is permanent.

I can't imagine dating a boy, meeting him only outside the home. What's a home and family for if it's not the center of one's life?

As an actress, I have to be objective about myself. If I don't criticize myself, there are plenty who will do a find job of it for me!

We can't have everything! It took a lot of growing up for me to realize this unalterable fact and to discipline myself into accepting it.

I do not hold with those who think it is all right to do whatever you want so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Who's to be the judge of that?

I hated school . . . . One of the reasons was a learning disability, dyslexia, which no one understood at the time. I still can't spell . . .

Everything worthwhile, everything of any value, has its price. Everything anyone has ever wanted has come neatly wrapped up in its penalties.

In my dreams, I could be a Princess, and that's what I was. Like most little girls, I believed nothing less than a Prince could make my dreams come true.

I think teenage impatience is just plain human nature! I think every generation has to cope with different circumstances, different problems. But it's the world that's changed. Human nature hasn't.

I don't know many ambition- ridden people who really enjoy themselves. Even success doesn't seem to still the insatiable, gnawing hunger of their ambition. Ambition is a good gift, but it cannot be all.

I believe that if we have lived our lives fully and well, and have accomplished, at least in part, the things we were put here to do, we will be prepared - mentally, physically and spiritually - for our separation from this world.

I believe in the efficacy of prayer and I have a deep and sorrowful sympathy for one who is without faith. I believe our Father answers every prayer-all prayers-with His matchless, inscrutable wisdom, with infinite compassion and with love.

If you use disappointments as sort of mid- semester exams, for learning, you will learn that every disappointment you overcome makes you stronger- and wiser. The greatest success stories have been lived by those who had to grow strong and wise in that very way.
