Anita Loos
The wrong side of the tracks is livelier.
Anita Loos
A girl with brains ought to do something with them besides think.
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
Tallulah [Bankhead] never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order 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
And what, for instance, would have happened had Romeo and Juliet lived to middle age, their silhouettes broadened by pasta?
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.
Anita Loos
I always say that a girl never really looks as well as she does on board a steamship, or even a yacht.
