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

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.

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

I know I am very beautiful.

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

I was very adept at acquiring languages.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.

You instinctively discover how to entertain an audience.

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

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

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

I don’t believe in hasty marriages.

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

For a married woman to flirt is a sin.

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

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

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

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

One does not re-light a dead cigarette.

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

I do not say anything from jealousy.

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