Greta Garbo
  • I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.

  • I want to be alone.

  • Being a movie star, and this applies to all of them, means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace, you're just fair game.

  • Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them.

  • Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.
