HEDY LAMARR

Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet.

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'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.

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.

I am a very good shot. I have hunted for every kind of animal. But I would never kill an animal during mating season.

I can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don't have to stay that way.

All my six husbands married me for different reasons.

Lawyers know how to take isolated complaints in a divorce case and build them into one big one.

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.

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.

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.

I've been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that's all anyone can expect.

Let any pretty girl announce a divorce in Hollywood and the wolves come running. Fresh meat for the beast, and they are always hungry.

Because you don't live near a bakery doesn't mean you have to go without cheesecake.

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 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.

When I attained a certain advanced intimacy with a man, and I don't just mean sex, I married him.

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.

American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.

The public pays and feels it is entitled to participate in the personal affairs of a performer.

Many people are target people. Once when Louis B. Mayer insulted me I poured a glass of water over his head.

I must quit marrying men who feel inferior to me. Somewhere there must be a man who could be my husband and not feel inferior.

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.

If I had my way everyone would have a psychiatrist. When the brain is sick and you must throw up, you do it by being purged in a psychiatrist's office.

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.
