Louise Brooks - biography

“Every actor has a natural animosity toward every other actor, present or absent, living or dead.”

“The great art of films does not consist of descriptive movement of face and body but in the movements of thought and soul transmitted in a kind of intense isolation.”

“Most beautiful dumb girls think they are smart and get away with it, because other people, on the whole, aren’t much smarter.”

“In my dreams I am not crippled.  In my dreams, I dance.”

“There is no other occupation in the world that so closely resembled enslavement as the career of a film star.”

“I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife.”

“I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept it without wishing I had given it away.”
