More quotes by Anita Loos
That our popular art forms have become so obsessed with sex has turned the U.S.A into a nation of hobbledehoys as if grown people don't have more vital concerns, such as taxes, inflation, dirty politics, earning a living, getting an education, or keeping out of jail.

Anita Loos
Fate keeps on happening.
Anita Loos
I was making love to a man, a man I hardly even know. He was kissing the face off me and I was kissing the face off him. And I found it highly satisfactory.
Anita Loos
And what, for instance, would have happened had Romeo and Juliet lived to middle age, their silhouettes broadened by pasta?
Anita Loos
Tallulah [Bankhead] never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order indeed.
Anita Loos
In any service where a couple hold down jobs as a team, the male generally takes his ease while the wife labors at his job as wellas her own.
Anita Loos
It isn't that gentlemen really prefer blondes, it's just that we look dumber.
Anita Loos
I was born in the theatre. My father was a small time impresario on the West Coast and I was acting from the age of 7, but I started to write when I was 12 and by the time I was 14 I was making more money than I was acting.
