If you`re going to be a star, you have to look like a star, and I never go out unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

There is not enough money in Hollywood to lure me into making another picture with Joan Crawford. And I like money. - Sterling Hayden after filming "Johnny Guitar"
Sterling Hayden
[on his ex-wife, Joan Crawford] "She`s like that old joke about Philadelphia: First prize, 4 years with Joan. Second prize, 8 years with her."
Franchot Tone
[on Joan Crawford] Whenever she came to the realization that the men she loved simply didn`t come back, she compensated by adopting children.

[Joan Crawford] and I have never been warm friends. We are not simpatico. I admire her, and yet I feel uncomfortable with her. To me, she is the personification of the Movie Star. I have always felt her greatest performance is Crawford being Crawford.

I`ll tell you one of the reasons I`m ready to leave. When I first came to Hollywood five years ago, my makeup call was at eight in the morning. On this movie it`s been put back to seven-thirty. Every day I see Joan Crawford, who`s been in makeup since fiv...

[Explaining his recasting of the role of "Jack Crawford" with Harvey Keitel in Red Dragon (2002)]: When Jonathan Demme said make your own version, I couldn`t see anyone but Anthony Hopkins and I couldn`t see anyone but Anthony Heald as "Dr. Chilton". I ca...
Brett Ratner
I`ve been with some good ones, but maybe the best was Franchot Tone. I made two pictures with him and he stole both of them. Something went wrong with how he was handled; or who knows, maybe it was Joan Crawford. But he had everything - great at comedy an...

[On friend Joan Crawford]: She is five feet four, but she looks six feet on the screen. In a two-shot with anyone, even Gable, (Clark Gable), your eyes fix on her. She is imperious, yet with a childlike sparkle. She is haughty, yet tender. She has no grea...
