你 know a lot of people have, oh gee, real quirky problems that they wouldn’t dare have anyone know. But one of my problems happens to show: I’m late. I guess people think that why I’m late is some kind of arrogance and I think it is the opposite of arrogance. I also feel that I’m not in this big American rush, 你 know, 你 got to go and 你 go to go fast but for no good reason. The main thing is, I want to be prepared when I get there to give a good performance 或者 whatever to the best of my ability. A lot of people can be there on time and do nothing, which I have seen them do, and 你 know, all sit around sort of chitchatting and talking trivia about their social life. Gable 说 about me, “When she’s there, she’s there. All of her is there! She’s there to work.”
