Zsa Zsa Gabor

When I’m alone, I can sleep crossways in bed without an argument.

My husband said it was him or the cat. I miss him sometimes.

Any woman who diets all the time can’t help but be grouchy. Nobody can be amusing or entertaining on a diet.

Husbands are like fires – they go out when unattended.

I want a man who’s kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?

One of my theories is that men love with their eyes; women love with their ears.

No one wants to quit when he’s losing and no one wants to quit when he’s winning.

I think my level of fame will drop back down. I think it’ll recede. In fact, I know it will. That’s life on Planet Earth. And I’m okay with that. Besides getting tables at restaurants and special treatment at the airport, what else is there?

[on Sarah Palin returning to Fox News] First tonight, I and the rest of America woke up this morning in the worst way imaginable.

All I could think about was, ‘I just wanna blow him away. I wanna make him proud, because I really wanna sign with Timbaland and spend the rest of my career making music with Tim.’

My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.

One failed attempt at a shoe bomb and we all take off our shoes at the airport. Thirty-one school shootings since Columbine and no change in our regulation of guns.

There’s nothing I really wanted to do in life that I wasn’t able to get good at. That’s my skill. I’m not really specifically talented at anything except for the ability to learn. That’s what I do. That’s what I’m here for.

I like the red carpet. It’s like acting because it’s like a fairytale.

It may not be the best in someone else’s eyes, but it’s the best I can do.

When onstage, I always try to take my audience through as many emotions as I possibly can. I want them to go from laughter to tears, be shocked and surprised and walk out the door with a renewed sense of themselves – and maybe a smile.

I remember failing my Princeton interview. My mom wanted me to apply because ever since I was a kid she had this dream that I would apply to Princeton, but it was just not happening.

I promise you, you’re going to see a new Ye. You’re going to feel the impact of the new relationships and the new ideas and the exposure that I’ve gathered. It’s about to be applied now.

My most favorite joke is that to keep a marriage, the husband should have a night out with the boys and the wife should have a night out with the boys, too.

I was a very confident little kid.
