I love working.

The John Ford pictures I made are highly regarded, but at the time they didn’t seem like that.

I had been told by so many people that I was going to be nominated, that I should be nominated, that there wasn’t any question about my being nominated. I don’t think it was a surprise.

When I went back to New York with somewhat of a name, they didn’t want movie actresses.

I have a private press. I’m a book artist. I publish books of other authors and artists. I do the illustrating. I set the type. I print it myself on my press. I do everything but bind it.

Claude Rains was what we call an actor’s actor. He was very involved with himself and his performance.

I’m amazed. When I was 40, I thought I’d never make 50. And at 50 I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60, I was still going strong and enjoying everything.

I have enjoyed acting very much, because I know it’s not for real!

I just finished my 11th book last week, so I’m ready to start the next one.

There’s no point in working if I’m not involved and interested.
