Most people don't need to work as hard as I do.
I'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.
It's sheer torture. I have to be up with the chickens every day and go to work on my body. I hate it, but I do it.
I love the fast lane.
The average housewife goes to the restaurant to relax and enjoy the food. But when Eva walks in, she becomes the center of attention.
I had A Lover's Quarrel With The World Robert Lee Frost (Old Bennington Cemetery, Bennington, Vermont) Our Darling Eva We Love You.
I've always known I would be a success, but I was surprised at the way it came.
The only thing you have to know are your words.
My first husband, yes, I eloped with him from Hungary against my mother's wishes.
I ask myself more questions than Hamlet as I ponder which shoes to wear
After all the work I've done, why should I suddenly be treated as a bona fide actress?
East Hampton happens to have been the first place in the world where I was a star, a real star with a star pasted above my name on the dressing-room door.
I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn't be saying it, but it slipped out!
I'm acting when I serve as a hostess, when I run my wig business. I was born to act, and life itself is the greatest part.
