Every girl would like to marry a rich husband. I did twice. But what divides girls into two groups is this question - do you first think of money and then love, or vice versa?
~ Hedy Lamarr
Any girl can be glamorous. All she has to do is stand still and look stupid.
I'm fifty-one years old, but I'm not through yet. I have lived a full life, and intend packing in quite a lot more.
Men are most virile and attractive between the ages of 35 and 55. Under 35 a man has too much to learn, and I don't have time to teach him.
I have never seen a wrestling match or prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him.
I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.
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 have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him.
Dates with actors, finally, just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became, the more I narrowed down my choices.
To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.
I don't believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn't, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode.
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.
Confidence is something you're born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.
Perhaps my problem in marriage - and it is the problem of many women - was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.
It is easier for women to succeed in business, the arts, and politics in America than in Europe.
I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded, perhaps too much and too often. As for money, I have only realized its true worth when I didn't have it.
My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.
If you use your imagination, you can look at any actress and see her nude... I hope to make you use your imagination.
A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.
I know why most people never get rich. They put the money ahead of the job. If you just think of the job, the money will automatically follow. This never fails.
American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.
It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy.
Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet.
