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."
