Jane Wyman's quotes

The opportunity for brotherhood presents itself everytime you meet a human being.
I guess I just don't have a talent for it, some women just aren't the marrying kind - or anyway, not the permanent marrying kind, and I'm one of them.
[on winning the 1949 Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role of Johnny Belinda (1948)]: I won this award for keeping my mouth shut, so I think I'll do it again now.
[on her ex-husband's, Ronald Reagan's death in 2004]: America has lost a great president, and a great, kind gentleman.
[on the cancellation of Falcon Crest (1981)]: It's a funny feeling, because you wake up and say, 'I'm not going to see my friends again, you know!' Because I never done anything this long.
[In 1989]: Remember, I've been in this business fifty-four years. I made eighty-six pictures and 350 television shows. I have not been idle.
[Upon her return to Falcon Crest (1981)'s final year, after almost a year's medical leave]: I'm back and I'm feelin' fine and I'm really gonna raise hell.
I don't know why I'd have to cooperate because he knows everything I know. I'm just going to live my life and have fun.
[Who said in 1985 about accepting the role of Angela Channing, 4 years earlier]: I really like her, she's a head's up lady. You can't miss on a thing like this, you really can't. If you do, you're dumb.
It was all Donald O'Connor's idea. He suggested that I join his nightclub act when he plays at Harrah's at Lake Tahoe this month. I couldn't think of a good reason why I shouldn't.
[In 1984]: Women are like tea bags. You never know how strong they are until you put them in hot water.
[on commenting her newspaper interview in 1981 about her almost 50 year career in films]: I've been through four different cycles in pictures: the brassy blonde, then came the musicals, the high dramas, then the inauguration of television.
People are used to me in the softer roles - but I think they get used to Angie.
[In 1971]: Actually, I've worn the Dutch-bob since I was three years old. It certainly helped my career from an identity standpoint.
[In 1993]: I was there for the first 20 years ago. I'm just pleased as punch to do it again. Watching people waste away is terrible. Nobody knows what arthritis is like unless you have it.
I never go into anything except with both feet and a lot of enthusiasm.
[In 1988]: Egyptians have become addicted to Falcon Crest. They've become very attached to it.
[on learning that she was being awarded the Best Actress Oscar for Johnny Belinda (1948)] I heard my name called and the first thing that came to my mind was 'Did I or didn't I put on my girdle tonight? Then I thought, 'So what? Let it bounce.'
I wasn't unreceptive to working. It was just that nothing came around that I was even remotely interested in doing. Number two, I don't think they were exactly looking for me with a fine-toothed comb.
[on former husband Ronald Reagan] Ask him the time and he'll tell you how the watch was made.
Where else can you meet such fascinating people and go to such places as people in our business do? It's a fabulous life.
[Who recalled about the dwindling family finances that made it very hard for her to find a job]: Well, it didn't last long. I wasted more pies than I sold. So I was fired.
