- I think sometimes in revulsion from Communism - and revolting they are - you find yourself tempted to go too far the other way. This impulse you must resist.
- [about writing the film Slim Carter (1957)] We [she and husband David Bramson] finished our script, left the studio. Several weeks later each of us got a shooting script. We were given story credit, then screenplay credit. Then came the name of the man who rewrote it . . . We didn't like it so much we asked to have our names taken off it.
