A biography for Greta Garbohasn’t been written yet.
“I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.”
“There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them.”
“My talents fall within definite limitations. I am not as versatile an actress as some think.”
“Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.”
“You don't have to be married to have a good friend as your partner for life.”
“Why haven't I got a husband and children?" mused Greta Garbo to the Dutchess of Windsor, "I never met a man I could marry.”
“I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.”
