“I had no desire to be a star and a star's responsibility.” — Elizabeth Wilson Quote

I had no desire to be a star and a star's responsibility.

When I was about 8, I used to go into one of the rooms in the mansion, and I would open a magazine like the 'Ladies Home Journal,' and I would see these characters on the pages and then become them, talking back and forth.

In the 1940s, I was doing something called the Equity Library Theater in New York, when a movie company came to see the play I was in and offered me a contract. But the deal was, my nose was too big and they wanted me to have surgery. My jaw was crooked, and I'd have to have that fixed, too. And they didn't like my name; it was too common.

I didn't want to give up my career. That's what kept me alive, kept me going. I couldn't stop - didn't want to stop - being all these different characters.

British passion for Chinese tea was unstoppable, but the Chinese had no desire for our offerings, however much we tried to sell them woolen clothes or cutlery.

I have no desire to ever be involved in the image-board world again.

I have no desire to switch companies or go to UFC or anything like that.

I have no desire to be famous, definitely not.

I have no desire to be famous at all.
