 All creative people want to do the unexpected. |
| If I were to name my favorite pastime, I'd have to say talking about myself. I love it and I think most other people do too. We need, people like us, more listeners and less talkers. |
| Making pictures, for an actress, is like betting, for a gambler. Each time you make a picture you try to analyze why you won or lost. |
| If you use your imagination, you can look at any actress and see her nude... I hope to make you use your imagination. |
| I would tell anyone who wants something from someone else to feign not wanting it. People are perverse. If you show great affection to them, they'll run the other way. |
| I've been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that's all anyone can expect. |
| Experts always know everything but the fine points. When I took my citizenship exams, no one there knew how the White House came to be called the White House. |
| One of my favorite people is Gypsy Rose Lee. She bears out the Biblical promise that he who has, gets. And I hope she gets a lot more. |
| I often talked to Bing Crosby, and while I liked him, I never understood why he was so popular. To me his voice was just a gimmick. |
| I'd rather wear jewels in my hair than anywhere else. The face should have the advantage of this brilliance. |
| 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. |
| Confidence is something you're born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15. |
| Dirt makes a man look masculine. Let your hair blow in the wind, and all that. It's OK. All you have to do is look neat when you have to look neat. |
| 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. |
| It is easier for women to succeed in business, the arts, and politics in America than in Europe. |
| A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires. |
| 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. |
| I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories. |
| 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 can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don't have to stay that way. |
