More quotes by 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
Life deals from the bottom, sometimes, doesn't it?
Joan Crawford
Not that anyone cares, but there's a right and wrong way to clean a house.
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.
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
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

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

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
Hollywood is like life, you face it with the sum total of your equipment.
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
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
all that time hanging around the sets, watching Norma Shearer make the most of her three expressions, was a help.
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
Well, we can skip childhood because I didn't have any. Not one goddam moment on the Good Ship Lollipop.
