I have never known the time when I did not wear stays. My stays are part of me.

At home in Paris I take a milk bath two times a week, but here on the road it is more difficult. I miss them.

Please do not ask me to talk about my divorce. Mr. Ziegfeld and I are such very good friends. It is only a little matter quite between ourselves.

I have given up trying to be happy. It is no use an leads to nothing.

Yes, I am seeking a husband. As soon as the right man asks me, I shall say, It is not good for a woman to live alone.

I was very adept at acquiring languages.

The more they applaud, the bigger your salary will be.

There is no disgrace in working. There was no silver spoon around at the time I was born.

Whatever success I may have attained is due to the fact that since I was old enough to work at all, my ambition has never deserted me.

No one could possibly look all the time like my photographs. It is dreadfully hard to live up to them. They stare at me everywhere.

To put on a corset properly is as much of an art as to make a corset properly.

It is quite lovely being single, and I much prefer it.

I want to see people turn and writhe; make them feel things they cannot see and sometimes do not know.

I wish to please the people, but I want to make them cry, perhaps. There, I have said it.

I let my personal feelings take care of themselves. I find that works better.

For a married woman to flirt is a sin.

My little dog, he did not get ill. It is so funny that people get ill on a boat and dogs do not.

Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.

No one ever tells us the truth, even those we love.

I don't want to get married, and I don't want to work after I'm 30, so I must manage my fortune somehow in the next seven years.

I think the eyes flirt most. There are so many ways to use them.

We must go fast, because the race is against time.

It is a temptation for me to wear all my rings at once.

Most women are indulgent of themselves. This is a mistake. It should be only the reward of old age.

Some women flirt more with what they say, and some with what they do.

I do not like vaudeville, but what can I do? It likes me.

I don't believe in hasty marriages.

I have never known the time when I did not wear stays. My stays are part of me.

I am very, very proud of my ability as a cook.

One does not re-light a dead cigarette.

I speak English, so I am no longer cute. My tongue itches for French.

You'll never catch a man if you let him think you are too smart.

How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold, cold bath early in the morning? I jump in, throw the water, cold as ice, and after the first plunge I am happy.

I know I am very beautiful.

A woman must make her fortune before she is 30; or work after she is 30; or get married.

If I get married, I think I'd pick out a newspaperman rather than a millionaire. A newspaperman is a regular fellow.

People look at me and look, but I do not care.

I do not say anything from jealousy.

You instinctively discover how to entertain an audience.

A woman should be like a single flower, not a whole bouquet.

I do not care for the money, just for the glory.

Charm them with your presence as soon as they look at you.

I read the papers every day just to discover if one mentions Anna Held.

Yes, I am seeking a husband. As soon as the right man asks me, I shall say, 'It is not good for a woman to live alone.'

The more they applaud the bigger your salary will be.

We must go fast because the race is against time.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.
