Anita Loos
It's true that the French have a certain obsession with sex, but it's a particularly adult obsession. France is the thriftiest of all nations to a Frenchman sex provides the most economical way to have fun. The French are a logical race.
Anita Loos
If Hollywood hadn't existed, Elinor Glyn would have had to invent it.
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
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.
