That Oscar can be a jinx... It can... damage irreparably one's relations with family, friends. It's an uneasy head that wears the crown.
— Joan Fontaine

If you keep marrying as I do, you learn everybody's hobby.
Goodness knows, I tried. But I think it's virtually impossible for the right kind of man to be married to a movie star.

Marriage, as an institution, is as dead as the dodo bird.
I've flown in an international balloon race. I've piloted my own plane. I've ridden to the hounds. I've done a lot of exciting things.
I hope I'll die on stage at the age at 105, playing Peter Pan.
