Jayne Mansfield

Momma was the important woman in our home. She never let me forget that she was boss. I was always in the shadow. Every time I tried to step out on my own, I was in trouble with her.

You gotta have a body.

I do know that God created us equal and we're not living up to it.

My earliest memories are the best. I always try to remember the good times when Daddy was alive.

I am a movie star.

Cary Grant was one of the most marvelous men I've ever met.

We eat a lot of lean meat and fresh vegetables.

I want to be a great actress.

If you're going to do something wrong, do it big, because the punishment is the same either way.

If you're going to be a movie star, you should live like one.

No one wants to see or read about a dull subject. I don't consider myself a dull subject.

A woman should be pink and cuddly for a man.

A 41-inch bust and a lot of perseverance will get you more than a cup of coffee - a lot more.

Most girls don't know what to do with what they've got.

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can enjoy.

We take our children everywhere we go. I don't believe in having them and then leaving them to someone else to bring up.

I like being a pin-up girl. There's nothing wrong with it.

I will never be satisfied. Life is one constant search for the betterment for me.

When I'm 100 I'll still be doing pin-ups.

The real stars are not good actors or actresses. They're personalities.

I didn't come to Hollywood to be the girl next door. I came to be a movie star.

It is the most wonderful feeling in the world, knowing you are loved and wanted.

I don't really think I am the most beautiful woman in the world at all. If I can create some illusion to that effect - and it seems I have - then that is what spells success to me.

Men are creatures with two legs and eight hands.
