Love Quote by Dyan Cannon

Money is dangled here like bait, and Cannon makes a point of not taking it. The triple-stacked "millions and millions and millions" isn’t just emphasis; it’s a little performance of temptation, a way to let the audience feel the sheer magnitude of what she refused. She names the number so we register the sacrifice, then pivots hard to a different currency: privacy, loyalty, love.

The line "That was between us. That was private" works because it’s both boundary and rebuke. It suggests an entertainment ecosystem that treats intimacy as intellectual property, especially when the other half of the story is a famous man. Cary is Cary Grant, and the context matters: Grant’s image was built on controlled elegance, while their marriage was tabloid fodder and later surrounded by darker, more complicated stories. Cannon’s phrasing protects a shared interior life from being flattened into content, even as she acknowledges the market’s appetite for it.

There’s also a sly power play. By refusing to "write books", she denies outsiders the catharsis of a definitive tell-all while still reminding us she could have written one. She keeps authorship over the narrative by withholding it. "I'll always love him" lands as a final insistence that whatever happened between them cannot be reduced to a deal, a headline, or a postscript. It’s not saintly; it’s strategic tenderness, choosing emotional truth over profitable disclosure.
