"Marriage, as an institution, is as dead as the dodo bird."

"If you keep marrying as I do, you learn everybody's hobby." "I hope I'll die on stage at the age if 105, playing Peter Pan."

"I married first, won the oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it!."

[Before the failure of her first marriage] "Too many Hollywood marriages have smashed up because husbands were Mr. Joan Fontaine. That will never happen in our marriage because I am 100% Mrs. Brian Aherne".
