More quotes by Joan Crawford
If you throw a lamb chop in the oven, what's to keep it from getting done?
Joan Crawford
When television killed comedy and love stories, the movie makers went in slugging. They offered the downbeat, the degenerate as competition. This seems to me to be a sad campaign for Hollywood to use to combat box office disaster.
Joan Crawford
Life deals from the bottom, sometimes, doesn't it?
Joan Crawford
Dammit, don't you dare ask God to help me!
Joan Crawford
My God, I'm four hundred years old and the most I can do is look three hundred.
Joan Crawford
Make your wardrobe as versatile as an actress. It should be able to play many roles.
Joan Crawford
I remember most clearly when a teenage Christopher spat in my face. He said, I hate you. It's pretty hard to overlook that. I couldn't.
Joan Crawford
Mr. Cukor is a hard task-master, a fine director and he took me over the coals giving me the roughest time I have ever had. And I am eternally grateful.
Joan Crawford
The 1930s Hollywood was capable of hurting me so much. The things about Hollywood that could hurt me (when I first came) can't touch me now. I suddenly decided that they shouldn't hurt me - that was all.
Joan Crawford
[To the mother of two unruly children in a restaurant after the woman said she really didn't know what to do with her children:] Have you tried infanticide?
Joan Crawford
There's nothing wrong with my tits, but I don't go around throwing them in people's faces!
Joan Crawford
Of all the actresses ... to me, only Faye Dunaway has the talent and the class and the courage it takes to make a real star.
Joan Crawford
Sure, I'd play an ape if they asked me. Maurice Evans did.
Joan Crawford
Well, we can skip childhood because I didn't have any. Not one goddam moment on the Good Ship Lollipop.
Joan Crawford
I had always known what I wanted, and that was beauty... in every form... a beautiful house, beautiful man, a beautiful life and image. I was ambitious to get the money which would attain all that for me.
Joan Crawford
all that time hanging around the sets, watching Norma Shearer make the most of her three expressions, was a help.
Joan Crawford
1. Find your own style and have the courage to stick to it. 2. Choose your clothes for your way of life. 3. Make your wardrobe as versatile as an actress. It should be able to play many roles. 4. Find your happiest colours - the ones that make you feel good. 5. Care for your clothes, like the good friends they are!
Joan Crawford
Be afraid of nothing.
Joan Crawford
You have to be self-reliant and strong to survive in this town. Otherwise you will be destroyed.
Joan Crawford
While making Possessed, I wept each morning on my drive to the studio, and I wept all the way back home. I found it impossible to sleep at night, so I'd lie in bed contemplating the future. I fear it with all my heart and soul even as I fear the dark.
Joan Crawford
