- [on Gene Autry, with whom she worked in her first picture, The Old Corral (1936)] He was very nice; this was still pretty early in his career, but he'd made it big and fast, so what he wanted was the way it went. No song by me, for instance. There was no chemistry between us and I was never asked to do another film with him!
- [on Lewis Seiler, who directed her in The Big Shot (1942)] . . . Mean and nasty, but Bogie [Humphrey Bogart] came to my rescue. He told me to completely ignore this man, to play the part the way I wanted to play it and everything would be fine--which it was.
- [on Jane Wyman] I loved her husband, [Ronald Reagan], but Jane was so coarse and crude--with a foul mouth to boot. She'd get angry over something and say, "Get your ass over here". The divorce with Ronnie wasn't a surprise to me at all.
