"As many drinks as I've had, I can't remember enjoying one. The only reason I drank was to get over my shyness."

 

"Hollywood is just a dreary, quiet suburb of Los Angeles, with droopy palm trees, washed-out buildings, cheap dime stores, and garish theaters, a far cry from the razzle-dazzle of New York."

 

"I was never an actress-- none of us kids at Metro were. We were just good to look at."

 

"The truth is that the only time I'm happy is when I'm doing absolutely nothing."

 

"My philosophy, for better or worse, has always been, "If I'm in love or having an affair, I stop working.""

 

"Anything you can't get out of a bottle of gin, you don't need."

 

"MGM promoted me as The World's Most Beautiful Animal, a label I couldn't shake."

 

"When I lose my temper, honey, you can't find it anywhere."

 

"Fame and fortune does not mean anything if you don't have a happy home."

 

"I don't mind growing old. If I have to go before my time, this is how I'll go-- cigarette in one hand, glass of scotch in the other."

 

"Doing nothing feels like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect."

 

"If I had my life to live over again, I'd live it the same way. The truth is, honey, I've enjoyed my life. I've had a hell of a good time..."

 

"I shot enough sultry looks around the MGM photo gallery to melt the North pole."

 

"I married three exciting men, all very talented, and fascinating to the ladies, and, I might add, vice versa."

 

"Everybody kisses everybody else in this crummy business all the time. It's the kissiest business in the world."

 

"I made it as a star dressed, and if it ain't dressed, I don't want it."

 

"I wish to live until 150 year-old but the day I'll die, I wish it to be with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other."

 

"What I'd really like to say about stardom is that it gave me everything I never wanted."
