Joan Leslie quotes:

Who on earth can feel any respect for a girl who chases?

I'd like to play nothing but good characters.

That's the way it is: you have to show your initiative, you have to show talent and availability, and still have an awful lot of luck.

On the set you just have to listen very closely, listen to everyone around you, absorb everything and try to be what they want you to be with the little bitty line that you'd have to say. If it was a good line, it would be such fun to say it with vigor.
