I was madly in love with life. — Hedy Lamarr

Men are fine, love is fine, it’s marriage I’m a little disappointed in. — Hedy Lamarr

If I were to name my favorite pastime, I’d have to say talking about myself. I love it and I think most other people do too. We need, people like us, more listeners and less talkers. — Hedy Lamarr

I enjoy countless hundreds pursuing me. I love those who love me the most. I am sort of flattered by men showing attention to me. — Hedy Lamarr

Every girl would like to marry a rich husband. I did twice. But what divides girls into two groups is this question–do you first think of money and then love, or vice versa? — Hedy Lamarr

I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded, perhaps too much and too often. As for money, I have only realized its true worth when I didn’t have it. — Hedy Lamarr

I have never liked bargains when it came to sex. — Hedy Lamarr

I appreciate subtlety. I have never enjoyed a kiss in front of the camera. There’s nothing to it except not getting your lipstick smeared. — Hedy Lamarr

I’m fifty–one years old, but I’m not through yet. I have lived a full life, and intend packing in quite a lot more. — Hedy Lamarr

I’ve been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that’s all anyone can expect. — Hedy Lamarr

I don’t believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn’t, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode. — Hedy Lamarr

Some men like a dull life–they like the routine of eating breakfast, going to work, coming home, petting the dog, watching TV, kissing the kids, and going to bed. Stay clear of it–it’s often catching. — Hedy Lamarr

Films have a certain place in a certain time period. Technology is forever. — Hedy Lamarr

I find very often that very ugly women have really handsome men and vice versa because they don’t have any competition. Sometimes handsome men have avoided me. — Hedy Lamarr
