Patsy Kelly

“I'm the first to admit I'm a nasty, hard-bitten old broad. I'm a dame, and I've been a dame all my life.”

“In my day, you had to have a certain amount of talent. You couldn't just have a wiggle and a giggle and make it.”

“I was never the girl next door. I was the girl next door's tough older sister.”

“I've had a hell of a good time. And I've always been myself.”

“Thelma Todd was the best friend I ever had. We were like sisters.”

“I never married. I was too busy. I was always working.”
