Luise Rainer

I don't believe in anything artificial. I don't believe in makeup.

I remember once Robert Taylor invited me to lunch. I asked him, 'What is your ambition?' He said, 'I want to have 10 very good suits.'

I had immense ambition to become a really valuable actress.

I know the good from the bad, also the in-between, but I was never political.

I am an actress. I am not a movie star.

I was one of the horses of the Louis B. Mayer stable, and I thought the films I was given after my Academy Awards were not worthy.

The best imitation in the world is not half as good as a poor original.

One of the biggest dangers in Hollywood is becoming typed.

I was very thin, like a boy, and I was very un-sexy.

I felt very alone in Hollywood.

Once, I was a bigger star than Greta Garbo.

I always considered myself the world's worst actress.
