pain fun matter
You know what nostalgia is, don't you? It's basically a matter of recalling the fun without reliving the pain.
i-miss-you missing-you pain
It's true we don't know what we've got until its gone, but we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime.
beautiful brown known miss
I was never beautiful like Miss Hayworth or Miss Lamarr. I was known as the little brown wren. Who'd want to get me at the end of the picture?
sake said
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
home thinking work-out
Actually, I think business women are better women at home, if you want to know the truth because you do understand what goes into a day's work out in the world, a very nerve-racking affair.
real males female
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
jobs men thinking
I don't think in business it matters whether you're a man or a woman if you can do your job and have a brain.
sex independent female
It's a very independent male creature that lives alone, and a lot of independent females who live alone. It's all very sad but it's much easier for both sexes to do it this way nowadays.
writing thinking female
Women are the essential part of the theater but the writers are not writing about women. I think they're too perplexed about the whole female situation probably.
honesty thinking hollywood
They say that in Hollywood one can't be honest, but I think honesty counts in Hollywood just as much as it does anywhere else. I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
thinking too-much trouble
I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
believe home i-believe
I believe one should be a woman at home.
thinking enemy brain
One can make more enemies as a female with a brain I think.
thinking female resentment
As a female I think it's a terrible hindrance in business. I think it's a terrible hindrance for any female to have a lot of intelligence in private life, but I think in business sometimes it's even worse because there's deep resentment.
