Zsa Zsa Gabor

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

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.

There is no diet for a big ego.

I don’t take gifts from perfect strangers-but then, nobody is perfect.

There’s no better money to spend than your own.

Husbands are like fires – they go out when unattended.

There’s no substitute to being successful on an actual chart.

I have a suspicion that the definition of “crazy” in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to f*** [sleep with her] anymore.

What I have to say is far more important than how long my eyelashes are.

I’m from the ghetto side of Sydney. We don’t really do drive-bys, we just do drive-thrus.

Freddie will have been dead for 20 years in November. I was staggered because it doesn’t seem possible that all that time has passed and I still miss him. He was my best friend, my best man. We shared so much and I owe so much to him.

Well, I think you and I have always felt the same way – that we’re Jewish but we can get away with just being exotic. We’re kind of Jews in disguise.

When I’m playing a character, I use the American accent. But when I go back to England, I just glide right back into Englishness immediately. Every actor uses a dialect coach. Every actor, and if they say they don’t, they’re lying. Everybody does, yeah. You don’t want to worry about it. You have someone listening out to check that you’re not straying.

I don’t know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t been able to hear.

When I was really young, I loved the movie ‘White Christmas’ – I still do – and I thought Rosemary Clooney was so pretty. When I was, like, nine, I would tell people, ‘You know who I kind of look like? Rosemary Clooney.’

Every day, you try something new. So I just try to keep myself healthy physically and nutritionally.

[on drumming] There’s something rather nice about spending the evening hitting things.

I certainly didn’t want to date. I was through with guys.

[on getting the part of Cedric] I knew the casting director from another movie which I did, and they wanted to see me for this part, but I was doing another movie over the casting period, so I ended up seeing Mike Newell and Mary Selway and Fiona Weir – who were casting at the time – before anyone else was seen for casting. And then, I went to do this other movie, and then the day I came back… I got a call back and basically, that’s what happened.

Most of the time, people will just pass me by, or if they do realize, they’ll say something like, “My girlfriend said that was you, but I didn’t believe her.”

Well I had my kids so young that I kind of feel that I’m a kid too and am growing up with them. The things they’re interested in tend to really influence me.
