Hedy Lamarr's quotes

• 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 need a superior inferior man.
• My problem is, I'm a hell of a nice dame, The most horrible whores are famous. I did what I did for love. The others did it for money.
• If you use your imagination, you can look at any actress and see her nude, I hope to make you use your imagination
• Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.
• [referring to the EFF award for invention frequency hopping] It's about time.
• The ladder of success in Hollywood is usually agent, actor, director, producer, leading man. And you are a star if you sleep with them in that order. Crude but true.
• To be a star is--to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.
• I win because I learned years ago that scared money always loses. I never care, so I win.
• I was the highest-priced and most important star in Hollywood, but I was "difficult".
• It was wonderful working for a great director like Cecil B. DeMille.
• Delilah is one of my favorite roles.
• [on Spencer Tracy] He was a great actor, but there were times when he made me cry. He was not precisely my favorite person.
• [on Gaslight (1944)] I turned down that one too! Ouch!
• [on Clark Gable] Although I never quite understood his sex appeal, I thought he was one of the nicest people I'd met, and a great practical joker.
• [on Her Highness and the Bellboy (1945)] There I am, eight months pregnant, being photographed behind potted palms and in full ball gowns, which fortunately fit the story.
• Is that actually my voice, singing in The Heavenly Body (1944) and My Favorite Spy (1951)? You bet it is! You'd be surprised how well you can sing when you're rich!
• [on the extraordinary success of her film Samson and Delilah (1949)] Mr. DeMille is the first director who has ever understood me.
• Joan Bennett, in Trade Winds (1938). With her hair styled and colored like mine (I think she must have copied my stills).
• [when she encountered Zsa Zsa Gabor (George Sanders's then fiancée) on the set of Samson and Delilah (1949)] Who is this beautiful blond bitch? Get her off the set.
• The right art on the titles means a lot. They let the audience know before the picture begins that care and thought have gone into the production.
• [on Betty Grable] She has more expression in her legs than a lot of people have in their faces.
• I liked play-acting. I used to do it all the time as a child.
• Grandfather was perhaps the only one who ever encouraged me [to act]. He could play the piano, and to his music I danced. It was awkward, my dancing. But he said he thought it was beautiful. The rest of the family gave me little encouragement.
• [1938] Right now, aside from living up to the confidence everyone has placed in me, I have one driving ambition. That is to play the role of that romantic, colorful figure, Lola Montez, a celebrated European actress of the last century.
• I was at the studio at seven in the morning, putting on an evening gown, but I couldn't wait to get home to my children to be a nurse. What does Ava Gardner know? She never had a child, which is what it's all about. It's the truth!
