I always say that a girl never really looks as well as she does on board a steamship, or even a yacht.

There's nothing colder than chemistry.

Tallulah [Bankhead] was the foremost naughty girl of her era but, in those days, "naughty" meant piquant, whereas values have so changed that now, in the 1970s, it generally means nauseating.

So we came to the Ritz hotel and the Ritz Hotel was divine. Because when a girl can sit in a delightful bar and have delicious champagne cocktails and look at all the important French people in Paris, I think it is divine.

When I was very young and first worked in Hollywood, the films had bred in me one sole ambition: to get away from them; to live inthe great world outside movies; to meet people who created their own situations through living them; who ad-libbed their own dialogue; whose jokes were not the contrivance of some gag writer.

If Hollywood hadn't existed, Elinor Glyn would have had to invent it.

I always think that the most delightful thing about traveling is to always be running into Americans and to always feel at home.
