Hedy Lamarr

Art and science are two sides of the same coin.

I'm a very good cook and a very good homemaker. I'm a very good wife and mother. I'm a very good friend. I'm a very good person. I'm a very good actress. I'm a very good inventor. I'm a very good everything.

I have to be beautiful. If I'm not beautiful, I'm nothing.

I don't have to be an actress. I can be an inventor.

The public is often wrong. They want to see me as a sex symbol, but I'm not. I'm an inventor.

I was born with a gift, and I used it. I invented something that helped win the war.

I'm not a genius. I'm just a woman who likes to tinker.

My beauty was a curse. It made people think I was stupid.

I'm not interested in money. I'm interested in making a difference.

I'm not a feminist. I'm just a woman who wants to be treated equally.

I'm not afraid of anything. I've been through too much to be afraid.

I'm not a victim. I'm a survivor.

I'm not a saint. I'm a human being, with all the flaws and imperfections that come with it.

I'm not a legend. I'm just a woman who lived her life the best way she knew how.

I'm not a role model. I'm just me.

I'm not a philosopher. I'm just a woman who thinks a lot.

I'm not a politician. I'm just a woman who cares about the world.

I'm not a scientist. I'm just a woman who loves to learn.

I'm not a writer. I'm just a woman who has a lot to say.

I'm not a singer. I'm just a woman who loves music.
