Clara Bow quotes:

A sex symbol is a heavy load to carry when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.

We had individuality. We did as we pleased. We stayed up late. We dressed the way we wanted. I used to whiz down Sunset Boulevard in my open Kissel, with several red chow dogs to match my hair. Today, they're sensible and end up with better health. But we had more fun.

Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.

They yell at me to be dignified. But what are the dignified people like? The people who are held up as examples of me? They are snobs. Frightful snobs I'm a curiosity in Hollywood. I'm a big freak, because I'm myself!

I'm a curiosity in Hollywood. I'm a big freak, because I'm myself!

Even now I can't trust life. It did too many awful things to me as a kid.
