Quotes `` I 've always loved the theater very much. I 've always been in it. I hate being away from it. I 'm very stubborn -- I like to do what I want to do. And what I want to do most is theater. '' `` I started in show business when I was fifteen years old by enrolling at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. That was in 1920. Some of my classmates included Spencer Tracy, Allen Jenkins, and Pat O'Brien. You know what happened to them.
