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.

More quotes by 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
Life deals from the bottom, sometimes, doesn't it?
Joan Crawford
My God, I'm four hundred years old and the most I can do is look three hundred.
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
If you throw a lamb chop in the oven, what's to keep it from getting done?
Joan Crawford
Care for your clothes, like the good friends they are
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
Box-office poison? Mr. Louis B. Mayer always asserted that the studio had built Stage 22, Stage 24 and the Irving Thalberg Building, brick by brick, from the income on my pictures.
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
Not that anyone cares, but there's a right and wrong way to clean a house.
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
Nobody can imitate me. You can always see impersonations of Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. But not me. Because I've always drawn on myself only.
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
Sure, I'd play an ape if they asked me. Maurice Evans did.
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
There's nothing wrong with my tits, but I don't go around throwing them in people's faces!
Joan Crawford
It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them.
Joan Crawford
I was born in front of a camera and really don't know anything else
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
