Well, we can skip childhood because I didn't have any. Not one goddam moment on the Good Ship Lollipop.
Joan Crawford
Dammit, don't you dare ask God to help me!
Joan Crawford
Sensitive husbands don't like second billing. I don't believe Franchot ever for a moment resented the fact that I was a star. Possibly he resented Hollywood's refusal to let him forget it. There was never a doubt in my mind that his talent was greater than mine.
Joan Crawford
You have to be self-reliant and strong to survive in this town. Otherwise you will be destroyed.
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
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

If I weren't a Christian Scientist, and I saw Trog advertised on a marquee across the street, I'd think I'd contemplate suicide.
Joan Crawford
I used to wash my hands every ten minutes. I couldn't step out of the house unless I had gloves on. I wouldn't smoke a cigarette unless I opened the pack myself, and I would never use another cigarette out of that pack if someone else had touched it.
Joan Crawford
all that time hanging around the sets, watching Norma Shearer make the most of her three expressions, was a help.
Joan Crawford
Not that anyone cares, but there's a right and wrong way to clean a house.
Joan Crawford
My God, I'm four hundred years old and the most I can do is look three hundred.

Life deals from the bottom, sometimes, doesn't it?
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
