Hedy Lamarr

I have always been ahead of my time.

I think that I am a very good actress, but I am not a star.

I am not a pin-up girl. I am a serious artist.

The public is a fickle mistress.

I have never been a conformist. I have always done what I wanted to do.

I am not a feminist. I am a woman.

I don't think I'm beautiful. I think I'm interesting.

I never had a happy childhood.

I am not a victim. I am a survivor.

I never wanted to be famous. I wanted to be a good actress.

I am a very private person. I don't like to talk about my personal life.

I have no regrets. I have lived my life the way I wanted to.

I am not a sex symbol. I am an inventor.

I believe in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I have.

I am not a movie star. I am an actress.

I am not a legend. I am just a woman.

I don't understand why people are so obsessed with my looks.

I am not a victim of Hollywood. I am a survivor.

It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy.

Because you don't live near a bakery doesn't mean you have to go without cheesecake.
