“I never gave a thought to the movies until my family moved here from Fargo, North Dakota, last fall. When we came here I had no thought of ever working in pictures. In fact, I had very little desire to do so. I wasn’t interested. Of course, I am interested now, but the idea of being an actress doesn’t excite me a great deal.” — Virginia Bruce in 1929.
“I’d love to be a star, but I don’t know that I have enough ambition, or ‘artistic zeal,’ to achieve that. The main advantage, as I see it, would be money enough to buy all the clothes – and books – I want. But then, on the other hand, to have to walk in a perpetual spotlight in public, as the stars do – I wouldn’t like that.” – Virginia Bruce
