Acting to me isn't just a TV series, a talk show, or a play.
After all the work I've done, why should I suddenly be treated as a bona fide actress?
After we were married for one minute, I wanted to leave him.
As happy as I was to get the part, my happy marriage was the most important thing in my life. Now I would have to leave him alone at least five days a week.
East Hampton happens to have been the first place in the world where I was a star, a real star with a star pasted above my name on the dressing-room door.
Even though the letters became more and more familiar, I treated them as a joke. Fans can be very, very peculiar.
Everyone laughed at me and said, Why do you want to work, because now you could buy the studio?
Fans, after all, are an actor's life blood.
I already knew about the scads of money to be made in the television medium.
I can remember having only 30 cents in my pocketbook and a husband to support.
I do not go around taking anyone's man. I am much too spoiled.
I don't care what it looks like. I'm not here waiting for the notices. I'm here because I'm hungry.
I don't even put on a dress without his approval. He is a real man.
I don't just sit around taking bubble baths.
I don't quote President Johnson to you, so why do you quote Zsa Zsa to me?
I found myself staring back into the mirror at unhappiness.
I had a flop on Broadway, so I decided to marry as a balm for my hurt feelings.
I had a little car with no top to get me to the Paramount studio, and my $75 weekly salary disappeared the day I got my paycheck.
I had already met John, and he kept pestering me, so I married him. And here I was going with Tyrone Power at the same time.
I haven't been to a party in seven months, and I rarely go out to dinner.
I knew exactly how the fox feels when he hears the baying of the hound.
I knew the show would be a hit as soon as I heard the electricians and the carpenters laughing. One man even fell off a ladder.
I learned early that you only have so much energy to give. You have to spend it correctly.
I love the fast lane.
I made up my mind to be an actress when I was 4 years old.
I never want to see a real diamond again.
I refused to put anything ahead of my marriage.
I should have been smart enough to stay happy. But my ambition ruled my life.
I should have locked myself immediately in the cellar, but sometimes being weak is lots of fun.
I wanted to be an actress more than anything in the world. Not even Charles understood. He was literally dying when I left him.
I was at least recognizable in my own right.
I was born a Hungarian, but I have traveled so much that my accent by now is cosmopolitan.
I was convinced the nation's economy was based on my photograph.
I was hurt because people were so shocked that I gave a good performance. After 25 years of hard work, I was discovered.
I was out to destroy that image, and Green Acres gave me the chance to do it.
I was successful in psyching out Lisa's character because she was a lot like me.
I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn't be saying it, but it slipped out!
I'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.
I'm acting when I serve as a hostess, when I run my wig business. I was born to act, and life itself is the greatest part.
I'm crazy to lease this place for $30,000 for only three months. But I love it so-the place is so elegant and lovely.
I've always known I would be a success, but I was surprised at the way it came.
I've been trying to find out from a psychologist why I have this need to work so hard.
If a man is truly in love, the most beautiful woman in the world couldn't take him away. Maybe for a few days, but not forever.
If I wanted to be comfortable, I should have stayed at home.
It is no use. I can't be artistically inactive.
It's an amazing psychological thing for me, going back to where my stage career started. I love it, but I'm not crazy about the dressing rooms.
It's sheer torture. I have to be up with the chickens every day and go to work on my body. I hate it, but I do it.
Love is a game that two can play and both win.
Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once.
Most people don't need to work as hard as I do.
My co-workers expect me to be late and temperamental.
My first husband, yes, I eloped with him from Hungary against my mother's wishes.
My gowns will be designed by Luis Taylor, who creates most of my clothes.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to force their way into my life.
Now I'm alone and a lot better off.
People wanted me to give up all that I had achieved. They just didn't understand.
Sometimes I will play tennis for three hours at a time, then swim, and finally will work out in the gym for several hours. All of this is very, very hard work.
That boy made a play for me, in so many words, but I wrote a brief reply anyway.
The average housewife goes to the restaurant to relax and enjoy the food. But when Eva walks in, she becomes the center of attention.
The first time I ever did a television show, the producers had an actress standing by in case I blew up or refused to go on.
The only thing you have to know are your words.
The ratings surveys showed that Lisa's ambience fascinated the viewers.
The Secret Service has been all over the house, burrowing into closets and measuring the bluffs outside in order to establish command posts.
The whole process I must go through before going out makes it a terror just to go out to dinner.
There are so many attractive men around these days.
There I was, the girl who learned to worry about 50 cents, suddenly the wife of a man to whom small change was a petty annoyance.
There was no way I could live in Hollywood and not become an actress.
Was I just insane for a few weeks? I wasn't even in love with him. I didn't even like him.
We have dinner out less and less frequently because it's such an immense production.
When I drove past the theatre and sa my name up there, I burst into tears.
When I went to New York, I left my marriage behind me.
When Lisa wore jeans, she made sure she had real diamonds to compensate.
You can imagine how seriously I took ad men.
