GRACE KELLY

As an unmarried woman, I was thought to be a danger.

For a woman, forty is torture, the end.

I don't want to dress up a picture with just my face.

Other women looked on me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal.

Getting angry doesn't solve anything.

If anybody starts using me as scenery, I'll return to New York.

Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery.

Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family.

I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does.

I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel.

The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.

Home is here in Philadelphia. I never like to be away too long.

Ingrid Bergman made an enormous impression on me. I couldn't imagine where that kind of acting talent came from.

My husband is a good father, concerned about his children.

I did enjoy and take pride in my work as an actress, yet I'm bemused by suppositions that my life since has somehow been less fulfilling. That certainly is not the case. Rather the reverse.

My husband often remarked what a pity it was that a great country like America, which in Europe is still regarded as such a young nation, should be represented seemingly only by old or infirm men.

If I'd met the prince two or three years earlier, perhaps I might not have married him - at least not so soon. But we came together at the right time.

We just don't like the idea of turning the children over to nannies and minders. We like to help them ourselves - and then, of course, we know what to tell them when they ought to do something on their own.

I was constantly falling in love, and it never occurred to me that this was wrong or bad.

I never really liked Hollywood. I found it unreal - unreal and full of men and women whose lives were confused and full of pain.

The women here in Monaco don't like me, and so I have to watch everything I say and everything I do because they're so critical.

I don't want to be a personality.

I walk an hour almost every day - and very quickly - wherever I am. Sometimes I go on long, all-day hikes with friends.

Some day, I'm going to get married, and I'll want to tell my children I was in Africa on a safari.

I certainly don't think of my life as a fairy tale. I think of myself as a modern, contemporary woman who has had to deal with all kinds of problems that many women today have to deal with.
