Jayne Meadows quotes:

I was born and raised in China, and my parents were missionaries.

I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.

I would write plays for my grandmother, who was stone deaf, my mother and the dog, that was our audience.

My mother was the dearest, sweetest angel. She didn't talk; she sang. She was a tower of strength.

Steve is very quiet, even shy. I am very gregarious. So, opposites.

There is only one secret. To love what you are doing.

The best people I know have had a lot of obstacles to overcome.

Marriage, even the best marriages are tough.

I feel very sorry for women who continue to purchase real fur coats. They are lacking in a woman's most important requisites, heart and sensitivity.

My father was a good preacher and had a little bit of drama.

I was fed up with being just plain Jane.

I just loved and love life. I love it today.

I'm too insecure to have people hate me.

I respect his talents, even as he does mine.

I never look at a note. I just roam the stage. The people do not want to leave.

Prior to and during [John] Locke's time, it was difficult to determine where religion or church left off and government or state began. The powers of both were often combined. As a result, churches frequently used the force of the state to promote and enforce their interests and doctrines. This caused horrendous atrocities against Jews and heretics, as well as the European religious wars between Catholics and Protestants of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that resulted in the deaths of millions of people.

I never say a funny thing intentionally.
