- [Los Angeles Herald, July 28, 1916] Of course men are the biggest fibbers. They do not do it nearly as artistically as women do, they have not the finesse, but they lie a lot more.
- [Los Angeles Herald, July 28, 1916, regarding her more famous sister, Mary Miles Minter] I don't want anybody to give me any extra credit because of my sister. I love my sister and she loves me. We want to be just the same, and do just the same things. We don't want one to be any better than the other. I want to succeed on my own merits, and not to shine in reflected glory.
