Lana Turner's quotes

A successful man is one who makes more money than a wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
I find men terribly exciting, and any girl who says she doesn't is an anemic old maid, a streetwalker, or a saint.
[on Hollywood] It was all beauty and it was all talent, and if you had it they protected you.
I planned on having one husband and seven children, but it turned out the other way around.
Humor has been the balm of my life, but it's been reserved for those close to me, not part of the public Lana.
I've always loved a challenge.
Trash is something you get rid of - or disease. I'm not something you get rid of.
I liked the boys and the boys liked me.
The truth is, sex doesn't mean that much to me now. It never did, really. It was romance I wanted, kisses and candlelight, that sort of thing. I never did dig sex very much.
[on her father's murder] The shock I suffered then may be a valid excuse for me now - may explain things I do not myself understand.
If I don't laugh at least three times during the day, I've had a bad day. I've got to have a minimum of at least three good laughs. I wouldn't have survived without my sense of humor, and thank God I have always been able to laugh at myself.
I haven't had an easy life, but it sure hasn't been a dull one. And I'm pretty proud of the way this gal has held up.
If I'd been given a magical glimpse into my future, if I could have foreseen everything that was going to happen to me, all the headlines my life would make, all the people who would pass through my days, I wouldn't have believed a syllable of it!
[on her marriage to Artie Shaw] Marriage meant permanence to me, but with Artie, I began to realize, it was no marriage. It was hell.
