"Oscar was a doorstop; Oscar was in the basement. I went through a period of false humility. I thought if I had Oscar out people would think I was full of myself. Now Oscar is in a beautiful etagere near my front door."

(Patty Duke, vero nome Anna Marie Duke, premio Oscar alla miglior attrice non protagonista nel 1963 per la sua interpretazione in Anna dei miracoli; New York, 14 dicembre 1946 – Coeur d'Alene, 29 marzo 2016)
