More quotes by 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
I'd like to think every director I've worked with has fallen in love with me, I know Dorothy Arzner did.
Joan Crawford
I was born in front of a camera and really don't know anything else
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
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
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
[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
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
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
There's nothing wrong with my tits, but I don't go around throwing them in people's faces!
Joan Crawford
Make your wardrobe as versatile as an actress. It should be able to play many roles.
Joan Crawford
My God, I'm four hundred years old and the most I can do is look three hundred.
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
Not that anyone cares, but there's a right and wrong way to clean a house.
Joan Crawford
You have to be self-reliant and strong to survive in this town. Otherwise you will be destroyed.
Joan Crawford

Find your happiest colours - the ones that make you feel good. 5. Care for your clothes, like the good friends they are!
Joan Crawford
Dammit, don't you dare ask God to help me!
Joan Crawford
Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite ta a party.
Joan Crawford
I absolutely will not allow anyone to call me grandmother. They can call me Auntie Joan, Dee-Dee, Cho-Cho, anything but grandmother. It pushes a woman almost to the grave.
