I was madly in love with life.
I was a glamor girl at sixteen, long before I became an actress. And I didn't do it with a big bosom.
I have been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only have three close friends. I guess that's about all anyone can expect.
You couldn't live with a person, in those days, without being married.
-When being asked about her six unsuccessful marriages.
I still look good, though.
-When declined having a photographer during an interview.
Never a letter, never a thank you, never money. I guess they just take and forget about a
person.
-When being asked about her invention.
Men are fine, love is fine, it's marriage I'm a little disappointed in.
I like parties because I like to study people. But people at parties try so hard to be charming. If it isn't real, it becomes ridiculous. They make asses out of themselves.
I have observed that most women are hostile to me. I won't even attempt to analyze it. They say that I'm distant and don't give anything. But I do give to women that I like. And I demand nothing, ever.
Would you believe I was a famous star? It's the truth.
Sophia Loren would be a glamor girl even if she were in rags selling fish. She has the look, the movement and the intellect.
All my life when people have admired something of mine, I have given it to them. Once a studio VIP (female) admired a thirty thousand dollar brooch and I gave it to her. I don't think she ever knew the value of it.
Oh yes, definitely. But only to a man who has never seen even one of my movies. I'm really bored and tired of competing with the original "Hedy Lamarr".
- when asked if she would ever get married again (She didn't)
I once owned four big buildings on Wilshire Boulevard. I was so rich I didn't even know where they were. You can be sure if I ever own buildings again, I'll at least know the addresses.
I believe in sending lots of letters and notes to friends.
Any girl can look glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.
To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.
All creative people want to do the unexpected.
All my six husbands married me for different reasons.
Because you don't live near a bakery doesn't mean you have to go without cheesecake.
Compromise and tolerance are magic words. It took me 40 years to become philosophical.
Confidence is something you're born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.
I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.
I am a very good shot. I have hunted for every kind of animal. But I would never kill an animal during mating season.
I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much.
I appreciate subtlety. I have never enjoyed a kiss in front of the camera. There's nothing to it except for getting your lipstick smeared.
I can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don't have to stay that way.
I don't fear death because I don't fear anything I don't understand. When I start to think about it, I order a massage and it goes away.
I enjoy countless hundreds pursuing me. I love those who love me the most. I am sort of flattered by men showing attention to me.
I find very often that very ugly women have really handsome men and vice versa because they don't have any competition. Sometimes handsome men have avoided me.
I must quit marrying men who feel inferior to me. Somewhere there must be a man who could be my husband and not feel inferior.
I'm a sworn enemy of convention. I despise the conventional in anything, even the arts.
If you use your imagination, you can look at any actress and see her nude... I hope to make you use your imagination.
Most children turn out badly because they have the wrong parental image. This doesn't mean their parents are criminal. It means they are boring and cruel.
Some men like a dull life-they like the routine of eating breakfast, going to work, coming home, petting the dog, watching TV, kissing the kids, and going to bed. Stay clear of it-it's often catching.
The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.
The ladder of success in Hollywood is usually a press agent, actor, director, producer, leading man; and you are a star if you sleep with each of them in that order. Crude, but true.
