“When I attained a certain advanced intimacy with a man, and I don’t just mean sex, I married him.”

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.

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.

Ben Franklin may have discovered electricity- but it is the man who invented the meter who made the money.

The slavery of fear had made men afraid to think.

If a man loses anything and goes back and looks carefully for it, he will find it.

A wise man should marry a virgin of a respectable family even if she is deformed. He should not marry one of a low-class family, through beauty. Marriage in a family of equal status is preferable.

No man sees far, most see no farther than their noses.

I ain’t afraid to love a man. I ain’t afraid to shoot him either.

At this very moment enormous numbers of intelligent men and women of goodwill are trying to build a better world. But problems are born faster than they can be solved.

Christianity is the strangest religion ever set up, for it committed a murder upon Jesus in order to redeem mankind from the sin of eating an apple.
