Fun is fun but no girl wants to laugh all of the time.
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
If Hollywood hadn't existed, Elinor Glyn would have had to invent it.
Anita Loos
I've always loved high style in low company.
Anita Loos
Gentlemen prefer blondes... but gentlemen marry brunettes.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
A kiss on the hand may feel very, very good, but a diamond and sapphire bracelet lasts forever.
Anita Loos
Men are weak and constantly need reassurance, so now that they fail to find adulation in the opposite sex, they're turning to each other. Less and less do men need women. More and more do gentlemen prefer gentlemen.
Anita Loos
There's nothing colder than chemistry.
Anita Loos
In its heyday, Hollywood reflected, if it did not actually produce, the sexual climate of our land.

I began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.
