Joan Crawford: A Remarkable Talent

This blog is dedicated to the great Joan Crawford. I hope to spread love for her around and try to diminish her bad image created by her daughter.

Don’t talk to me about self-respect. That’s something you tell yourself you got when you got nothing else. What kind of self-respect is there living on aspirin tablets and chicken salad sandwiches? Look Marty, the only thing that counts is that stuff you take to the bank, that filthy buck that everybody sneers at, but slugs to get. I know how you feel. You’re a nice guy. But the world isn’t for nice guys. You’ve got to kick and punch and belt your way up because nobody’s going to give you a lift. You’ve got to do it yourself, because nobody cares about us except ourselves.
