- [on friend and actress Vivien Leigh] Everything about that girl was sad. Except her talent. Nothing sad about that.
- [on Judy Garland] I honestly believe that she was the most talented female performer of the twentieth century.

- Honestly, this is a big thing to say, but I don't think I've ever been bored. If I even get an inkling of it, I split. I love that lyric in "Thanks for the Memory": You might've been a headache/But you never were a bore. I think being boring is just the worst sin of all time.
- On Haila Stoddard: She was a rare piece of work in show business, I'll tell you that. She was as fair as fair can be, and she had the taste and class to hire Noël Coward, and I hasten to add, me.
