More quotes by 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
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
Memory is more indelible than ink.
Anita Loos
Pleasure that isn't paid for is as insipid as everything else that's free.
Anita Loos
Today there are no fairy tales for us to believe in, and this is possibly a reason for the universal prevalence of mental crack-up. Yes, if we were childish in the past, I wish we could be children once again.
Anita Loos
Gentlemen prefer blondes... but gentlemen marry brunettes.
Anita Loos
I've always loved high style in low company.
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
Tallulah [Bankhead] was the foremost naughty girl of her era but, in those days, naughty meant piquant, whereas values have so changed that now, in the 1970s, it generally means nauseating.
Anita Loos
I don't think the written word is important in movies anymore and the really great movies are done by great directors who in many cases write their own scripts. I think it's gotten to be more of a visual thing than an audible thing.
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
Nobody can tell about this California climate. One minit its hot and the next minit its cold, so a person never knows what to hock.
Anita Loos
Any girl who was a lady would not even think of having such a good time that she did not remember to hang on to her jewelry.
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
I began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.
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
Fate keeps on happening.
Anita Loos
Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.
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
Men no longer prefer blondes. Today gentlemen seem to prefer gentlemen.
