(on what keeps him humble) You know, I telephoned my grandparents the other day, and my grandfather said to me, "We saw your movie." "Which one?" I said, and he shouted, "Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn`t like?" I thought that was just classic. I mean, if that doesn`t keep your feet on the ground, what would?
- Brad PittI was so naive I didn`t even know about agents. I telephoned the William Morris agency and asked to speak to Mr. Morris. I expected Bill Morris to be waiting for my call.
- Kirstie AlleyI wouldn`t do just any picture. I didn`t even care, at first, to play in Sherlock Holmes with John Barrymore. But Mr. Griffith approved it, and all my friends argued in favor of it, and now I am glad that I did it. Curiously enough, I had never seen Mr. Barrymore either on stage or the screen. I told him that we he telephoned me about the picture and he said, "Perhaps you have heard of me!" I thought he might not want me after that, but he did. He had seen me, it seems, in Dream Street and thought we were much the same physical type. Built long, I suppose he mean`t.
- Carol Dempster The New York Times (November 5, 1971) noted:
She liked practical jokes. Once, when a man she didn`t particularly like, telephoned, asking, "Is this Miss Pennington?" she replied, "This ain`t me." Her dressing room door bore a sign, "For Men Only."
