It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to work with them.

The thing about happiness is that it doesn't help you to grow; only unhappiness does that. So I'm grateful that my bed of roses was made up equally of blossoms and thorns. I've had a privileged, creative, exciting life, and I think that the parts that were less joyous were preparing me, testing me, strengthening me.

I find men terribly exciting, and any girl who says she doesn't is an anemic old maid, a streetwalker, or a saint.

How does it happen that something that makes so much sense in the moonlight doesn't make any sense at all in the sunlight?

A gentleman is simply a patient wolf.

Fame is one thing, notoriety is another.

Humor has been the balm of my life, but it's been reserved for those close to me, not part of the public Lana.
