Love is the only industry which can’t operate on a five-day week.

Mae West

Love thy neighbor – and if he happens to be tall, debonair and devastating, it will be that much easier.

Mae West

Marriage? I ain’t got time for a husband or child. All my life I’ve looked after myself as if I was my own child.

Mae West

Men are like linoleum floors. Lay ’em right and you can walk all over them for years.

Mae West

Men are my hobby, if I ever got married I’d have to give it up.

Mae West

Money is of value for what it buys, and in love it buys time, place, intimacy, comfort, and a private corner alone.

Mae West

My advice to those who think they have to take off their clothes to be a star is, once you’re boned, what’s left to create the illusion? Let em wonder. I never believed in giving them too much of me.

Mae West

No gold-digging for me; I take diamonds! We may be off the gold standard someday.

Mae West

One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it.

Mae West

One more drink and I’ll be under the host.
