Hedy Lamarr

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 don't fear death because I don't fear anything I don't understand. When I start to think about it, I order a massage and it goes away.

American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.

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.

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.

I have always felt that if a man gives you a solid gold key to his door he is entitled to the courtesy of a visit.

Perhaps my problem in marriage - and it is the problem of many women - was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.

I was in constant demand, in my professional life and my personal life.

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.

If I had my way everyone would have a psychiatrist. When the brain is sick and you must throw up, you do it by being purged in a psychiatrist's office.

It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy.

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

I don't have any gnawing guilt over contributing to any unhappiness suffered by my husbands. They were as much to blame as I was.

Dates with actors, finally, just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became, the more I narrowed down my choices.

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'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.

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 hve three close friends. I guess that's all anyone can expect.

I am a very good shot. I have hunted for every kind of animal. But I would never kill an animal during mating season.

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.
