Temple: "Long ago, I became more interested in the real world than in make-believe."
Temple: "When I asked my mother why crowds shouted my name and said 'We love you,' she would dust it off by saying, 'Your work makes them happy.' She never let it go to my head."
Temple: "I wanted to be in the FBI. I also wanted to be a pie salesman."
Temple: "Make-believe colors the past with innocent distortion, and it swirls ahead of us in a thousand ways in science, in politics, in every bold intention."
Temple: "I've always been bossy."
Temple: "I've led three lives: the acting part, wife and mother - which is a career - and international relations. I'm proud of my career, the first one, and I'm proud of the other two, too."
Temple: "Any star can be devoured by human adoration, sparkle by sparkle."
Temple: "I wanted to be the first girl in my class to get married. From the seventh grade on, I used to write in my yearbook under each senior's picture, 'married' or 'engaged.' I had marriage on the brain."
Temple: "Time is money. Wasted time means wasted money means trouble."
Temple: "Politicians are actors, too, don't you think? Usually, if you like people and you're outgoing, not a shy little thing, you can do pretty well in politics."
Temple: "If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change anything. I probably would have paid for the pleasure of working."
