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

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.

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.

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.

I win because I learned years ago that scared money always loses. I never care, so I win.

You have never had any confidence in him. And if he has no confidence in himself it is because he sees himself through your eyes.

What can be more delightful than to have some one to whom you can say everything with the same absolute confidence as to yourself?

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.

The world belongs to those who set out to conquer it armed with self confidence and good humor.

Even those virtues that nature had denied him were imitated by him so successfully that he won more confidence than those who actually possessed them.

It is only the belief and the confidence we have in a God why man is able to understand his own social institutions, and move and live like a rational human being.

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.

I am welcoming a new phase of life with confidence in my potential to progress in spite of my fears.
