More quotes by Hedy Lamarr
I appreciate subtlety. I have never enjoyed a kiss in front of the camera. There's nothing to it except not getting your lipstick smeared.
Hedy Lamarr
I can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don't have to stay that way.
Hedy Lamarr
American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.
Hedy Lamarr
Perhaps my problem in marriage-and it is the problem of many women-was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.
Hedy Lamarr
All creative people want to do the unexpected.
Hedy Lamarr
Compromise and tolerance are magic words. It took me 40 years to become philosophical.
Hedy Lamarr
If I were to name my favorite pastime, I'd have to say talking about myself. I love it and I think most other people do too. We need, people like us, more listeners and less talkers.
Hedy Lamarr
I'd rather wear jewels in my hair than anywhere else. The face should have the advantage of this brilliance.
Hedy Lamarr
I think women are concerned too much with their clothes. Men don't really care that much about women's clothes. If they like a girl, chances are they'll like her clothes.
Hedy Lamarr
The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.
Hedy Lamarr
One of my favorite people is Gypsy Rose Lee. She bears out the Biblical promise that he who has, gets. And I hope she gets a lot more.
Hedy Lamarr
Every girl would like to marry a rich husband. I did twice. But what divides girls into two groups is this question - do you first think of money and then love, or vice versa?
Hedy Lamarr
I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.
Hedy Lamarr
I'm fifty-one years old, but I'm not through yet. I have lived a full life, and intend packing in quite a lot more.
Hedy Lamarr
Many people are target people. Once when Louis B. Mayer insulted me I poured a glass of water over his head.
Hedy Lamarr
I believe in sending a lot of letters and notes to friends.
Hedy Lamarr
Dirt makes a man look masculine. Let your hair blow in the wind, and all that. It's OK. All you have to do is look neat when you have to look neat.
Hedy Lamarr
Would you believe I was a famous star? It's the truth.
Hedy Lamarr
I am a very good shot. I have hunted for every kind of animal. But I would never kill an animal during mating season.
Hedy Lamarr
To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.
