“Any woman who wishes to smash into the world of men isn't very feminin...” — Ida Lupino Quote

Any woman who wishes to smash into the world of men isn't very feminine.

I had no desire to crash a man's world.

I didn't see myself as any advance guard, or feminist.

Often I pretended to a cameraman to know less than I did. That way I got more cooperation.

A woman in show business isn't honest with herself... so how can she be honest with another woman? We are, all of us, acting every minute of the day and night.

I've always jealously guarded my feminine mystique. I've been married twice, and neither of my husbands has ever seen me put my face on.

I'm a very feminine person, but I have this hard shell, man, and I stay focused and don't take things personally.

I try to be feminine, yet intellectual and smart at the same time. You don't see enough of that.

It's not like, 'Okay, today I want to look like a man, or today I want to look like a woman.' I want to look like me. It just so happens that some of the things I like are feminine.

I think it's great for the women to show that they are women and be feminine. And that's something that I've always promoted.
