Jean Arthur's quotes
- It's a strenuous job every day of your life to live up to the way you look on the screen.
- I guess I became an actress because I didn't want to be myself.
- The fact that I did not marry George Bernard Shaw is the only real disappointment I've had.
- [on Hollywood] I hated the place - not the work, but the lack of privacy, those terrible prying fan magazine writers and all the surrounding exploitation.
- If people don't like your work, all the still pictures in the world can't help you and nothing written about you, even oceans of it, will make you popular.
- (on doing interviews) Quite frankly, I'd rather have my throat slit.
- [on making Only Angels Have Wings (1939)] I loved sinking my head into Cary Grant's chest.
- [1977 comment on Gary Cooper] I loved working with Gary Cooper. Gary was my favorite. He was so terrific-looking, and so easy to work with.
- [In 1940] Those two and a half years on Broadway were the happiest years of my life. I loved the stage. I think every girl who wants to become an actress should put in some years on the stage.
- [About her first marriage] There was nothing tragic about it - it was a case of willfulness.
- [About her early career] I was all right in long shots, but when it came to close-ups, sustained emotion was beyond me. I knew nothing about acting and often wondered why I had not continued with my plan to become a teacher of modern languages.
