"I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond."

"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."

"I wrote the story myself. It's about a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it."

"I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure."

"He who hesitates is a damned fool."

"I only read biographies, metaphysics and psychology. I can dream up my own fiction."

"Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided."

"I'm single because I was born that way."
