Zsa Zsa Gabor

To be loved is a strength. To love is a weakness.

There is nothing wrong with a woman welcoming all men’s advances as long as they are in cash.

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

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

I don’t remember anyone’s name. How do you think the ‘dahling’ thing got started?

There is no diet for a big ego.

I’m the lady next door when I’m not on stage.

You have to keep reminding yourself it’s not about money, because there is a lot of money to be made in this business if you’re willing to do whatever. But that’s not what I’m thinking about. I continue only to take movies because I love the script and because I really want to do it.

There wasn’t much sex and drugs… well, there wasn’t much drugs!

[on the MTV movie awards] Ryan was whispering in my ear as we’re winning the award. He’s like, ‘You go that way, I’ll go this way, and we’ll meet in the middle. I was like, ‘What?!? You better not chicken out or I’ll kill you!’ It was fun.

I never use that word, retire.

I think women dress for other women to let them know what their deal is. Because if women were only dressing for men, there would be nothing but Victoria’s Secret. There would be no Dior.

I think maybe we (Queen) were subconsciously influenced by The Beatles’ albums, I think really, especially the later ones, like Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road. They were very eclectic albums.

Attending an all-girls school has its advantages, there are no inhibitions. You can walk to school with your zit cream on and your hair in rollers and nobody cares.

At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I’m being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.

In most cases being a good boss means hiring talented people and then getting out of their way.

Shaving your head is so empowering. You don’t need hair to be beautiful. You are beautiful with or without. I learnt that too.

[on acting] I just enjoyed it as soon as I started doing it. It fulfilled something in me, and I’m so lucky that I found it.

I’m a blowfish. I’m not a shark, I’m a blowfish. So that perfect example about me hitting my head, it’s like a blowfish. I wasn’t coming out of my house going to a paparazzi’s house to attack them. I’m defending my family in front of my own house. I’m defending my name as someone’s screaming something negative at me. That’s a blowfish. People have me pinned as a shark or a predator in some way, and in no way am I that. I wouldn’t want to hurt anyone. I want to defend people. I want to help people.

[on Trump lying] They are self-serving half-truths from a self-serving half-man who has somehow convinced half the country that sacrifice is the same thing as success.

Cocaine is God’s way of saying that you’re making too much money.
