- [joking reference to her husband, Hume Cronyn] When he's late for dinner, I know he's either having an affair or is lying dead in the street, I always hope it's the street.
- I must say, if I had known at the beginning of my life that this is where I would get to, I would have said, "Not possible. Not possible."
- Anything in your life that can parallel something in the life of a character that you're playing is of great value because you can really feel all of those things and know what it would be like.
- [1950] Jack Hawkins is a wonderful actor, but a rotten husband!
