- Deborah Kerr: Autobiographies are all the same--it's always rags-to-riches or I-slept-with-so-and-so. Damned if I'm going to say that.

- Deborah Kerr: I suppose the part nearest me is Laura Reynolds in Tea and Sympathy. Of course playwright Bob Anderson didn't know that, but he wrote Laura Reynolds and Laura Reynolds happened to be me. It was the coming together of a part and an actress - the same attitude to life, a certain shyness in life, a deep compassion for people who are being persecuted for anything.

- Deborah Kerr: I respect anyone who has to fight and howl for his decency.
