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.

I always think that the most delightful thing about traveling is to always be running into Americans and to always feel at home.

It isn't that gentlemen really prefer blondes, it's just that we look dumber.
Anita Loos
Image
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.

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.

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.

I always say that a girl never really looks as well as she does on board a steamship, or even a yacht.

That our popular art forms have become so obsessed with sex has turned the U.S.A into a nation of hobbledehoys as if grown people don't have more vital concerns, such as taxes, inflation, dirty politics, earning a living, getting an education, or keeping out of jail.

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.

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.
