Hedy Lamarr

I'm not a goddess. I'm just a woman who is trying to find her place in the universe.

I'm not a legend. I'm just a woman who wants to be remembered for who she really was.

I'm not a genius. I'm just a woman who had an idea and ran with it.

I'm not a scientist, but I can still contribute to science.

I'm not just a pretty face. I have a brain too.

I must have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I'm still hungry.

I am a very good cook. I can cook anything. I can cook a whole meal for twenty people.

I don't want to be a star. I want to be a good actress.

I'm not an inventor. I just have a lot of ideas.

The public has a short memory. They forget you as soon as you're out of sight.

I have to be alone a lot. I need to be alone to think.

I've been married six times. Every time I marry, I hope it's for keeps.

I never said 'I want to be alone.' I only said 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.

To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.

I am not ashamed to admit that I have made mistakes. I have made many mistakes. But I have learned from them.

I believe in luck. The harder I work, the luckier I get.

I have always been interested in science and technology. I think it's fascinating.

I don't regret anything. Everything I've done has made me who I am today.

The most important thing is to be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not.

I've always been a bit of a rebel. I don't like to follow the rules.
