Norma Shearer

Somehow or other I always got myself rigged up in something sensational.

I get whatever placidity I have from my father. But my mother taught me how to take it on the chin.

Being a motion picture actress is the pitch of ecstasy.

All the books I was reading as a teenager were about individuals having adventures. So I thought that was what writers were supposed to do: to go out on the road.

They were of many types of seals, all bearing the insignia of the King.

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