“Lawyers know how to take isolated complaints in a divorce case and build them into one big one.”

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.

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

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.

Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet.

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

If you use your imagination, you can look at any actress and see her nude… I hope to make you use your imagination.

I’ve been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only have three close friends. I guess that’s all anyone can expect.

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.

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 just marvel.

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.

A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.

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.

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.

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

The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

There is a spiritual side to me that goes real deep, but I confess right up front that I’m the biggest sinner of them all.

If you tell a lie, tell a big one.

A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don’t ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren’t blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.

The English follow the principle that when one lies, it should be a big lie, and one should stick to it.

We are a very big and vast Government, and naturally, every ministry is becoming bigger and bigger. It becomes, therefore, essential that there should be proper coordination.

There’s a big difference between a decisive manager and a tyrant.
