- I always told my mother that I would see to it that I would never have any children.
- [on her breakup with Rudolph Valentino] With butlers, maids and the rest, what work is there for a housewife? I won't be a parasite. I won't sit home and twiddle my fingers, waiting for a husband who goes on the lot at 5:00 a.m. and gets home at midnight and receives mail from girls in Oshkosh and Kalamazoo.
- [on her first meetings with Rudolph Valentino] It wasn't love at first sight. I think it was good comradeship more than anything else.
- [on her first trip to Egypt in January 1936] I felt as if I had at last returned home. The first few days I was there I couldn't stop the tears streaming from my eyes. It was not sadness, but some emotional impact from the past- a returning to a place once loved after too long a time.
- [on her separation from Rudolph Valentino] He knew what I was when I married him. I have been working since I was 17. Homes and babies are all very nice, but you can't have them and a career as well. I intended, and intend, to have a career and Valentino knew it. If he wants a housewife, he'll have to look again.
