More quotes by Anita Loos
In its heyday, Hollywood reflected, if it did not actually produce, the sexual climate of our land.
Anita Loos
There is a serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants - more than anything else - to become rich. As long as they don't have the money, it'll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they do, they'll understand how important other things are - and have always been.
Anita Loos
When I was very young and first worked in Hollywood, the films had bred in me one sole ambition: to get away from them to live inthe great world outside movies to meet people who created their own situations through living them who ad-libbed their own dialogue whose jokes were not the contrivance of some gag writer.
Anita Loos
Fate keeps on happening.
Anita Loos
Pleasure that isn't paid for is as insipid as everything else that's free.
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
A girl with brains ought to do something with them besides think.
Anita Loos
Gentlemen prefer blondes... but gentlemen marry brunettes.
Anita Loos

Anita Loos
I began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.
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
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
...In the past, as now, [Hollywood] was a stamping ground for tastelessness, violence, and hyperbole, but once upon a time it turned out a product which sweetened the flavor of life all over the world.
Anita Loos
So we came to the Ritz hotel and the Ritz Hotel was divine. Because when a girl can sit in a delightful bar and have delicious champagne cocktails and look at all the important French people in Paris, I think it is divine.
Anita Loos
On a plane you can pick up more and better people than on any other public conveyance since the stagecoach.
Anita Loos
A bit of conversational sex makes a pleasant climate for creative effort.
Anita Loos
The wrong side of the tracks is livelier.
Anita Loos
I've had my best times when trailing a Mainbocher evening gown across a sawdust floor. I've always loved high style in low company.
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
One might feel that, at my age, I should look on life with more gravity. After all, I've been privileged to listen, firsthand, tosome of the most profound thinkers of my daywho were all beset by gloom over the condition the world had gotten into. Then why can't I view it with anything but amusement?
