Although I’ve played a wide variety of roles, I’ve never had the chance to act in a story written specially for me. It’s a pity as they are the only stories that really let you reveal your personality.

More quotes by Grace Kelly
I’ve always treated my children as beings in their own right. I respect their feelings and aspirations entirely.
Grace Kelly
A person has to keep something to herself or you're life is just a layout in a magazine.
Grace Kelly
For a woman, forty is torture, the end.
Grace Kelly
A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls.
Grace Kelly
My parents, despite their serious attitude toward life in general, and that of their children in particular, were very broadminded people. There was no such thing as a bad profession for them. As I was their daughter, they knew that, whatever profession I chose, I would do it well. That was enough for them. There was always trust among the Kellys.
Grace Kelly
Having a [teenage] daughter is like riding a young horse over an unknown steeplechase course. You don't know when to pull up the reins, when to let the horse have its head - or what.
Grace Kelly
I never say 'never,' and I never say 'always.'
Grace Kelly
I get up at seven for the make-up, Rita Hayworth at six, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis at five. I don’t want to know the time when I’ll have to come to the studio even earlier.
Grace Kelly
I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel.
Grace Kelly
I loved acting. I didn’t particularly like being a movie star.
Grace Kelly
I hated Hollywood. It’s a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics and so much unhappiness.
Grace Kelly
I've been accused of being cold, snobbish, distant. Those who know me well know that I’m nothing of the sort. If anything, the opposite is true. But is it too much to ask to want to protect your private life, your inner feelings? Lots of things touch me and I don’t want to be indiscreet.
Grace Kelly
This is one night I wish I smoked and drank.
Grace Kelly
Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality
Grace Kelly
I don`t want to dress up a picture with just my face.
Grace Kelly
I do isometrics in church so while I'm doing my soul some good, I'm doing my body some good, too.
Grace Kelly
At times I think I actually hate Hollywood. I have many acquaintances there, but few friends.
Grace Kelly
I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does.
Grace Kelly
I am basically a feminist. I think that women can do anything they decide to do.
Grace Kelly
Before my marriage, I didn’t think about all the obligations that were awaiting me. My experience has proved useful and I think that I have a natural propensity to feel compassion for people and their problems.
Grace Kelly
