Margaret Sullavan quotes:

Acting in the movies is just like ditch-digging

Perhaps I'll get used to this bizarre place called Hollywood, but I doubt it,

Psychologically, I'm very confused"¦ But personally, I don't feel bad at all.

You'll never learn to act in Hollywood. Not in a thousand years.

It's my nature to go around in high spirits most of the time and then to collapse.

I still hate making pictures! And I don't like Hollywood any better. I detest the limelight and love simplicity, and in Hollywood the only thing that matters is the hullabaloo of fame. If Hollywood will let me alone to find my way without forcing me and rushing me into things, I probably will change my feelings about it. But at present Hollywood seems utterly horrible and interfering and consuming. Which is why I want to leave it as soon as I am able.
