More quotes by Anita Loos
I've never known a Philadelphian who wasn't a downright 'character' possibly a defense mechanism resulting from the dullness of their native habitat.
Anita Loos
If we have to tell Hollywood good-by, it may be with one of those tender, old-fashioned, seven-second kisses exchanged between two people of the opposite sex, with all their clothes on.
Anita Loos
I don't like diabolism so I stay away from things like Clockwork Orange. I think diabolism is awfully childish. I don't even want to see The Godfather. I couldn't stand seeing that horse's head cut off. I wouldn't mind if it were Marlon Brando's.
Anita Loos
Dorothy is th cool type of temperament who quite frequently thinks that two is a crowd.
Anita Loos
with a mental equipment which allows me to tell the difference between hot and cold, I stand out in this community like a modern day Cicero. Dropped into any other city of the world, I'd rate as a possibly adequate night watchman.

Anita Loos

Anita Loos
Gentlemen prefer blondes... but gentlemen marry brunettes.
Anita Loos
The rarest of all things in American life is charm. We spend billions every year manufacturing fake charm that goes under the heading of public relations. Without it, America would be grim indeed.
Anita Loos
In its heyday, Hollywood reflected, if it did not actually produce, the sexual climate of our land.
Anita Loos
Gentlemen always seem to remember blondes.
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
There's nothing colder than chemistry.
Anita Loos
I've always loved high style in low company.
Anita Loos
I always think that the most delightful thing about traveling is to always be running into Americans and to always feel at home.
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.
Anita Loos
Sometimes writers of no talent at all can write great acting scenes. Sometimes the very best writers can't write scenes that come to life.
Anita Loos
I began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.
