"One of the legends you hear about me is that I sleep 16 hours a day. That is ridiculous. In the first place, it's physically impossible. Secondly, someone else would have to do my work . . . on the stage, in motion pictures . . . managing my home. I sleep nine hours."

(Dolores del Río, pseudonimo di Dolores Martínez Asúnsolo y López Negrete, attrice e ballerina; Durango, 3 agosto 1905 – Newport Beach, 11 aprile 1983)
