Hedy Lamarr

“I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded, perhaps too much and too often. As for money, I have only realized its true worth when I didn't have it.”

“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.”

“I have always felt that if a man gives you a solid gold key to his door he is entitled to the courtesy of a visit.”

“I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much.”

“I remember all too well the premiere of Ecstasy when I watched my bare bottom bounce across the screen and my mother and father sat there in shock.”

“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.”

“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.”
