In addition to actual dramatic training and experience, I'd want as much education as possible. - Irene Dunne

You may laugh of the idea of the good will of others in Hollywood, but it's no laughing matter if you don't have it.

I'm not going to worry any more. It isn't worth it. Look at 'Show Boat.' I worried myself sick over it. I knew the public wouldn't like it. But they do and it has broken all kind of records. Yes, I decided while I was in Europe this summer that I'd never worry again. I shall laugh blithely all through 'Theodora Goes Wild.' That's the picture I'm doing now for Columbia, you know. It's different from anything I've ever done before, and it's a comedy, and I'm going to laugh and be gay and never give a thought to worry.

This is an amazing business, creative and mechanical at the same time.
