Zitat des Tages von Anna Held:
For a married woman to flirt is a sin.
I read the papers every day just to discover if one mentions Anna Held.
I wish to please the people, but I want to make them cry, perhaps. There, I have said it.
The more they applaud, the bigger your salary will be.
I do not say anything from jealousy.
I speak English, so I am no longer cute. My tongue itches for French.
Some women flirt more with what they say, and some with what they do.
To put on a corset properly is as much of an art as to make a corset properly.
I was very adept at acquiring languages.
A woman should be like a single flower, not a whole bouquet.
It is quite lovely being single, and I much prefer it.
No one ever tells us the truth, even those we love.
I am very, very proud of my ability as a cook.
At home in Paris I take a milk bath two times a week, but here on the road it is more difficult. I miss them.
Yes, I am seeking a husband. As soon as the right man asks me, I shall say, 'It is not good for a woman to live alone.'
We must go fast, because the race is against time.
It is a temptation for me to wear all my rings at once.
I have never known the time when I did not wear stays. My stays are part of me.
I want to see people turn and writhe; make them feel things they cannot see and sometimes do not know.
How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold, cold bath early in the morning? I jump in, throw the water, cold as ice, and after the first plunge I am happy.
A woman must make her fortune before she is 30; or work after she is 30; or get married.
One does not re-light a dead cigarette.
I don't want to get married, and I don't want to work after I'm 30, so I must manage my fortune somehow in the next seven years.
If I get married, I think I'd pick out a newspaperman rather than a millionaire. A newspaperman is a regular fellow.
You'll never catch a man if you let him think you are too smart.
I have given up trying to be happy. It is no use and leads to nothing.
You instinctively discover how to entertain an audience.
There is no disgrace in working. There was no silver spoon around at the time I was born.
Charm them with your presence as soon as they look at you.
I do not care for the money, just for the glory.
I know I am very beautiful.
No one could possibly look all the time like my photographs. It is dreadfully hard to live up to them. They stare at me everywhere.
I think the eyes flirt most. There are so many ways to use them.
Please do not ask me to talk about my divorce. Mr. Ziegfeld and I are such very good friends. It is only a little matter quite between ourselves.
Whatever success I may have attained is due to the fact that since I was old enough to work at all, my ambition has never deserted me.
People look at me and look, but I do not care.
