Jennifer Jones's quotes
- My mother told me never explain, never complain. Even as a young actress, I determined I would never give personal interviews, since they made me so uncomfortable.
- If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.
- Most interviewers probe and pry into your personal life, and I just don't like it. I respect everyone's right to privacy, and I feel mine should be respected too.
- Actually, every time I stop to think about it, I'm really amazed. I think I've had an extraordinary life. And lots of times, I can hardly believe it's me.
