Hedy Lamarr“Any girl can be glamorous. All she has to do is stand still and look stupid.”
Hedy Lamarr“Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet.”
Hedy Lamarr“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“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“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“I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded, perhaps too much and too often. As for money, I have only realized its true worth when I didn't have it.”
Hedy Lamarr“It is easier for women to succeed in business, the arts, and politics in America than in Europe.”
Hedy Lamarr“Perhaps my problem in marriage - and it is the problem of many women - was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.”
Hedy Lamarr“Confidence is something you're born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.”
Hedy Lamarr“I don't believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn't, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode.”
