Gloria Swanson

I've given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages. You can't divorce a book.

Sam Wood, the director, made most of his money as a real estate agent; there was nothing of the temperamental artist about him.

All they had to do was put my name on a marquee and watch the money roll in.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.

A kid is something precious, and you want to protect it and keep it fun. I'm not a dad, but I've seen people and how they behave with their kids.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
