“I had been offered a Hollywood contract before my 18th birthday. It ga...” — Gene Tierney Quote

I had been offered a Hollywood contract before my 18th birthday. It gave me the spark I needed.

In later years, I craved foods that were almost always fattening.

There were days that I worked all the time, without a layoff, or a rest, finishing one picture and reporting for another sometimes on the same day.

I admire anyone who rids himself of an addiction.

I am not the kind of woman who excuses her mistakes while reminding us of what used to be.

As I approached my 95th birthday, I was burdened to write a book that addressed the epidemic of 'easy believism.' There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works, they are going to Heaven.

I wear jewellery that I never take off. I have a ring and two necklaces. I always have them on and get scared when I have to take them off for photo shoots. The ring is my mum's mum's mum's, and she gave it to me for my 18th birthday. The necklace is the same one that my sister has. She's called Hannah, and the name is the chain.

I remember the one time, when I was in the 10th grade and the school president, my entire school had surprised me with a birthday song during the morning assembly. It will always be a very special memory!

Every birthday my wife Kathy re-creates what my mom made me on my birthday, a simple pot roast, that she slathers with cream of mushroom and Lipton Onion soup and then simmers it all day on the stove.
