“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.”

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

I love the attention but I don’t like too much of it.

I was always really shy so I’d never try to get a guy’s attention.

Paying attention to simple little things that most men neglect makes a few men rich.

The unconditional love, support and attention that our parents showered on us as we were growing up laid our foundation as individuals.

Attention is something I’ve learned to ignore. This is what I do: I live my life and they document it.

Pay attention to where you are going because without meaning you might get nowhere.

Your time and attention are two of your most precious commodities.

Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.
