All a woman needs is a good bath, clean clothes, and for her hair to be combed. These things she can do herself. I very seldom go to the hairdresser, but when I do, I just marvel.

All my six husbands married me for different reasons.

American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Any girl can look glamorous. All you have to do is stand
still and look stupid.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Because you don't live near a bakery doesn't mean you have to go without cheesecake.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Compromise and tolerance are magic words. It took me 40 years to become philosophical.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Dates with actors, finally, just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became, the more I narrowed down my choices.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Experts always know everything but the fine points. When I took my citizenship exams, no one there knew how the White House came to be called the White House.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
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.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
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 Quote
I can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don't have to stay that way.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I don't fear death because I don't fear anything I don't understand. When I start to think about it, I order a massage and it goes away.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I enjoy countless hundreds pursuing me. I love those who love me the most. I am sort of flattered by men showing attention to me.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I find very often that very ugly women have really handsome men and vice versa because they don't have any competition. Sometimes handsome men have avoided me.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I know when I'm working I seldom get into trouble. My educated guess is that boredom has caused most of the problems with Hollywood celebrities.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I know why most people never get rich. They put the money ahead of the job. If you just think of the job, the money will automatically follow. This never fails.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I often talked to Bing Crosby, and while I liked him, I never understood why he was so popular. To me his voice was just a gimmick.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
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 Quote
I was in constant demand, in my professional life and my personal life.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I would tell anyone who wants something from someone else to feign not wanting it. People are perverse. If you show great affection to them, they'll run the other way.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
I'm a sworn enemy of convention. I despise the conventional in anything, even the arts.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
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 Quote
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 Quote
If you use your imagination, you can look at any actress and see her nude... I hope to make you use your imagination.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Jack Kennedy always said to me, Hedy, get involved. That's the secret of life. Try everything. Join everything. Meet everybody.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Let any pretty girl announce a divorce in Hollywood and the wolves come running. Fresh meat for the beast, and they are always hungry.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Making pictures, for an actress, is like betting, for a gambler. Each time you make a picture you try to analyze why you won or lost.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Men are most virile and most attractive between the ages of 35 and 55. Under 35 a man has too much to learn, and I don't have time to teach him.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
Most children turn out badly because they have the wrong parental image. This doesn't mean their parents are criminal. It means they are boring and cruel.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
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 Quote
Some men like a dull life-they like the routine of eating breakfast, going to work, coming home, petting the dog, watching TV, kissing the kids, and going to bed. Stay clear of it-it's often catching.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
The ladder of success in Hollywood is usually a press agent, actor, director, producer, leading man; and you are a star if you sleep with each of them in that order. Crude, but true.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
The public pays and feels it is entitled to participate in the personal affairs of a performer.
- Hedy Lamarr Quote
TO be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.
