I've always wanted two lives - one for the movies, one for myself.

I'm not always sincere. One can't be in this world, you know.

I wish I were supernaturally strong so I could put right everything that is wrong.

I like the sea: we understand one another. It is always yearning, sighing for something it cannot have; and so am I.

Why should you care for a woman like me? I'm always nervous or sick, or sad or too gay.

Mr. Hitler was big on me. He kept writing and inviting me to come to Germany, and if the war hadn't started when it did, I would have gone and I would have taken a gun out of my purse and shot him, because I am the only person who would not have been searched.

It could be so beautiful here if the Americans themselves had not made it so ugly with their big buildings, their millions of cars, and noise.
