Quote

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.

Image
I don`t want to dress up a picture with just my face.
Grace Kelly
Image
Other women looked on me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal.
Grace Kelly
Image
Why getting angry? Getting angry doesn’t solve anything… I don’t like yelling and fighting and I can’t quarrel, I prefer to let it drop… When people use disagreeable words, I feel crushed and remember them for a long time.
Grace Kelly
Image
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.
Grace Kelly
Image
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.

Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family.
Grace Kelly
Image
One way in which all of us can help to combat the current wave of public indecency which threatens to undermine Western civilization is to concentrate upon and increase the solidarity of the family. This solidarity begins with a child at the mother's breast.

Image
A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls.
Grace Kelly
Image
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
Image
I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel.
Grace Kelly
Image
I’ve always treated my children as beings in their own right. I respect their feelings and aspirations entirely.
Grace Kelly
Image
The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.
Grace Kelly
Image
I loved acting. I didn’t particularly like being a movie star.
Grace Kelly
Image
Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality
Grace Kelly
Image
I love walking in the woods, on the trails, along the beaches. I love being part of nature. I love walking alone. It is therapy. One needs to be alone, to recharge one's batteries.
Grace Kelly
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

This is one night I wish I smoked and drank.

My nerves could use a drink.
