(on her refusal to publicly discuss the political career of her ex-husband, Ronald Reagan) It`s not because I`m bitter or because I don`t agree with him politically.

(On winning the 1949 Academy Award for Leading Actress): "I won this award for keeping my mouth shut, so I think I`ll do it again now."
