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.

More quotes by Anita Loos
Gentlemen always seem to remember blondes.
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 began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.
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
Gentlemen prefer blondes.
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
Dorothy is th cool type of temperament who quite frequently thinks that two is a crowd.
Anita Loos
A bit of conversational sex makes a pleasant climate for creative effort.
Anita Loos
A girl with brains ought to do something with them besides think.
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
And what, for instance, would have happened had Romeo and Juliet lived to middle age, their silhouettes broadened by pasta?
Anita Loos
On a plane you can pick up more and better people than on any other public conveyance since the stagecoach.
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
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
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
Fun is fun but no girl wants to laugh all of the time.
Anita Loos
Always go to the solitary drinker for the truth!
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
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.
