Confidence is something you’re born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.

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.

All a woman needs is a good bath, clean clothes, and for her hair to be combed. These things she can do herself. I very seldom go to the hairdresser, but when I do, I...

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.

Many people are target people. Once when Louis B. Mayer insulted me I poured a glass of water over his head.

Any girl can be glamorous. All she has to do is stand still and look stupid.

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.

To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.

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...

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 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 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’d rather wear jewels in my hair than anywhere else. The face should have the advantage of this brilliance.

It is easier for women to succeed in business, the arts, and politics in America than in Europe.

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.

I’m a sworn enemy of convention. I despise the conventional in anything, even the arts.

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.
