More quotes by Joan Crawford
My God, I'm four hundred years old and the most I can do is look three hundred.
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
[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
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

Joan Crawford

Joan Crawford
Hollywood is like life, you face it with the sum total of your equipment.
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
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
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
Well, we can skip childhood because I didn't have any. Not one goddam moment on the Good Ship Lollipop.
Joan Crawford
Not that anyone cares, but there's a right and wrong way to clean a house.
Joan Crawford
Make your wardrobe as versatile as an actress. It should be able to play many roles.
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
Sure, I'd play an ape if they asked me. Maurice Evans did.
