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.

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...

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.

I know when I’m working I seldom get into trouble. My educated guess is that boredom has caused most of the problems with Hollywood celebrities.

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.
