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.

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

I don’t like to talk to people, because I can’t express myself satisfactorily. I don’t say the things I mean.

I live like a monk: with one toothbrush, one cake of soap, and a pot of cream.

I have made enough faces.

Every one of us lives this life just once, if we are honest, to live once is enough.

I always wanted to do my best. I got nothing free—I had to work hard.
