I am just old-fashioned enough to prefer long hair.

I would like to have you quote me, Erich von Stroheim, as having said on this day of this month of this year this one thing: you Americans are living on baby food.

From Erich von Stroheim

For my Vienna is as different from what they call Vienna now as the quick is different from the dead.

From Erich von Stroheim

I was reared in an atmosphere where a great deal of attention was paid to women's hairdressing.

From Erich von Stroheim

Bobbed hair makes women look uniform. They lack individuality.

From Erich von Stroheim

It is not because I do not love my adopted land - it is the natural feeling of one far from home, who remembers those happy, carefree days when life flowed at full tide, without responsibility, flashing past one like the drama in a fascinating story of adventure and romance.

From Erich von Stroheim

And yet because of my attempt at sincerity I have been condemned, hooted at, reviled; filthy rumors have been circulated about me, not about my characterizations but about me personally, my private self.
