More quotes by 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
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
Pleasure that isn't paid for is as insipid as everything else that's free.
Anita Loos
Fun is fun but no girl wants to laugh all of the time.
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
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
A girl with brains ought to do something with them besides think.
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?
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
Gentlemen prefer blondes... but gentlemen marry brunettes.

Memory is more indelible than ink.
Anita Loos
Gentlemen prefer blondes.
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
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
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
I always say that a girl never really looks as well as she does on board a steamship, or even a yacht.
