In the old days, a star was someone up there - you know, Greta Garbo - but a telly star was somebody you could approach.

Diana Rigg

I'm fascinated by Greta Garbo. My cat's named Greta, and I have a framed photograph of her from 1949.

Jane Lynch

I could be the Greta Garbo of comedy, very secluded, but Garbo had a man who was beyond rich to support her.

Joan Rivers

"I want to be a lawn." Greta Garbo.

W. C. Sellar

You can compare me with Greta Garbo. I have big feet, too.

Lee Remick

Greta Garbo: A deer in the body of a woman, living resentfully in the Hollywood zoo.

Clare Boothe Luce

Why haven't I got a husband and children?" mused Greta Garbo to the Dutchess of Windsor, "I never met a man I could marry.

Greta Garbo

My perfect day would be to go on a picnic up Mt. Wilson with Christopher Isherwood, Greta Garbo, Aldous Huxley, and Bertrand Russell.

Janet Fitch

I was a big fan of Greta Garbo and that era of movies, so I dreamt watching those movies.

Marion Cotillard

There was a saying around MGM: "Norma Shearer got the productions, Greta Garbo supplied the art, and Joan Crawford made the money to pay for both".

Joan Crawford

She's got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes.

Kim Carnes

I mean, the actors that I admired were Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, an actress named Barbara Harris. And Greta Garbo. They were great actors.

Robert De Niro

The ending shot of 'Queen Christina' with Greta Garbo is amazing. She's at the head of the ship, and she's been through so much, and the camera gets so close to her face. That really sticks out for me.

James Gray

I think familiarity breeds contempt. I mean, we'll never get another Greta Garbo will we? Someone would go in with a camera Sellotaped to the bottom of a tray trying to get film of her with no make-up on.

Alan Carr

It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison - it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo.

John Lennon

There's something I call telegenekicity, and it's not about just models. Of course, I can reference Iman, Tatiana Patitz, Kelly Emberg, Bonnie Berman - I go all the way back - but I think that you develop an eye to register iconic images - like Greta Garbo and Elizabeth Taylor.
