WARNING: The profile you are about to see is filled with classiness. If you are not classy, that's your problem.

Hi, guys! My name is Anna. I'm a homeschooled retro-lover who is constantly eager to meet anybody who wants to be friends with me.

As you might already know, I'm very classy for a teenager. I adore classics; can't get enough of them. All my favorite actresses are from long ago because they left a legacy modern actresses won't ever leave.

Now I'm not perfect, I admit, but I'm rather nice at times, not to brag. If you decide to block me, I will simply leave it alone and not make a big deal of it. If you detest teenagers on SodaHead, I will show you what mature is.

I'm also:

* Anti-Twilight
* Anti-Miley
* Anti-Jonas

(I'm not against those who disagree.)

I'm also on YouTube if you want to see moi:

I love reading basically all kinds of books, just as long as they interest me. I ran out of books to read in the library, though, so I don't read as much anymore. The Bible, of course, is the absolutely best book ever written for all our daily lives. I do recommend "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl". I never regretted reading it and never will.

FAMOUS PERSON: Anne Frank

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

"Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I've never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl."

"I've learned one thing: you only really get to know a person after a fight. Only then can you judge their true character!"

"Sometimes I think God is trying to test me, both now and in the future. I'll have to become a good person on my own, without anyone to serve as a model or advise me, but it'll make me stronger in the end."

"I long to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at the world, feel young and know that I'm free, and yet I can't let it show. Just imagine what would happen if all eight of us were to feel sorry for ourselves or walk around with the discontent clearly visible on our faces. Where would that get us?"

"Riches, prestige, everything can be lost. But the happiness in your own heart can only be dimmed; it will always be there, as long as you live, to make you happy again."

"I want friends, not admirers. People who respect me for my character and my deeds, not my flattering smile. The circle around me would be much smaller, but what does that matter, as long as they're sincere?"

"Have my parents forgotten that they were young once? Apparently they have. At any rate, they laugh at us when we're serious, and they're serious when we're joking."

"I'm honest and tell people right to their faces what I think, even when it's not very flattering. I want to be honest; I think it gets you further and also makes you feel better about yourself."

"I don't want to live in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!"

"I've asked myself again and again whether it wouldn't have been better if we hadn't gone into hiding, if we were dead now and didn't have to go through this misery, especially so that the others could be spared the burden. But we all shrink from this thought. We still love life, we haven't yet forgotten the voice of nature, and we keep hoping, hoping for . . . everything."

"To be honest, I can't imagine how anyone could say "I'm weak" and then stay that way. If you know that about yourself, why not fight it, why not develop your character?"

"We have many reasons to hope for great happiness, but . . . we have to earn it. And that's something you can't achieve by taking the easy way out. Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction."

"It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart."

-------------

FAMOUS PERSON: Audrey Hepburn


"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."

"I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine."

"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."


"I am by nature neat, rather particular about my person. I like to look my best, not only for those around me, but for myself. I'm more casual at home than the public might think, but part of being a working movie star is maintaining a glamour and polish that set one apart."

"The last thing you want to be in acting is an introvert, which I am. I've never loved to perform. Oh, I liked it before hand-all the preparation-and I like it afterward, if it went well. But the thing itself is scary!"

"Since I was a child, I've believed in prayer. I have this faith that things somehow work out."

"My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping their hair, buying the large glasses and the little sleeveless dresses."

"I'm not stacked like Sophia Loren or Gina Lollobrigida, but I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness."

"I've had so much more than I ever dreamed possible out of life-- no great disappointments, or hopes that didn't work out: I didn't expect anything much, and because of that I'm the least bitter woman I know."

"For me, the only things of interest are those linked to the heart."

"My mother is Dutch, my father is Irish and I was born in Belgium, if I was a dog I'd be in a right mess."

"Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same."

"I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing."

"I need a lot of loving, being loved and giving love. Love does not terrify me, but the going-away of it does."

"Sex appeal is something you feel deep down inside. I can convey as much fully clothed, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain."

"I've had so much more than I ever dreamed possible out of life-- no great disappointments, or hopes that didn't work out: I didn't expect anything much, and because of that I'm the least bitter woman I know."

"I depend on Givenchy in the same way that American women depend on their psychiatrists."

"Money never made anyone happy in and of itself, but it always gave me a real sense of security, so it enhanced my ability to be happy."

"For me, the only things of interest are those linked to the heart."

"Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same."

"I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience."

"I know I have more sex appeal on the tip of my nose than many women in their entire bodies. It doesn't stand out a mile, but it's there."

If I were to write a biography, it would start like this: I was born in Brussels, Belgium, on May 4, 1929 . . . and I died six weeks later.

Whatever happens, the most important thing is growing old gracefully. And you can't do that on the cover of a fan magazine.

"It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.' "

"Cary [Grant] and I had never met before we did "Charade", so there we all were in Paris, about to have dinner at some terribly smart bistro. As it was early spring, Cary, who always dressed impeccably, was wearing an exquisite light tan suit. I know I was thrilled to meet him, and I must have been terribly excited, because not ten seconds after we started chatting I made some gesture with my hand and managed to knock an entire bottle of red wine all over poor Cary and his beautiful suit. He remained cool. I, on the other hand, was horrified. Here we'd only just been introduced! If I somehow could have managed to crawl under the table and escape without ever having to see him again, I happily would have."

"I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it."

"You can't let yourself worry when you play a classic role. I'm an introvert anyway. Playing the extroverted girl in Breakfast at Tiffany's was the hardest thing I ever did. If I had stopped to think about comparison with my predecessors as Eliza, I'd have frozen completely. But I loved this part. Eliza is vulnerable, but she has a beautiful inner strength. I made myself forget the problems. I threw myself into it and tried to make it me."

MOVIE: "To Have and Have Not"

Slim: "You know how to whistle, don't ya, Steve? Ya just put your lips together and...blow."

Slim: "What are you trying to do, guess her weight?"
Steve: "She's heftier that you think."
[lays down fainted woman he has been carrying]
Steve: "Better loosen her clothes."
Slim: "You've been doing all right."
[stops him from loosening clothes]
Slim: "Maybe you'd better look after her husband."
Steve: "He's not going to run out on me."
Slim: "Neither is she."
-------------

TV SHOW: "Looney Tunes"

[just arriving in Hollywood]
Daffy Duck: "Hollywood! The city of the cinema at last! Home of fame, fortune, and Lauren Bacall."
-------------

FAMOUS PERSON: Lauren Bacall

"Imagination is the highest kite one can fly."

"The old saw that time heals all wounds doesn't quite wash. Time helps-- it's the only thing that does; it helps you to go on, to live, to laugh, to love-- but it doesn't help you to forget or lessen the tiny stab of pain that remembrance brings."

"Memory is a precious commodity, not to be tampered with, not to be rejected. We have to be glad of its existence, for it keeps alive those special people-- the moments, the places, the feelings."

"Let's face it: I want it all-- just like you and everybody else. It may not be in the cards, but the prospect is so dazzling that I have to try."

"We all arrive at adulthood carrying baggage; the aim is not to carry too much."

"It isn't easy for me to face the fact that other people, even my friends, are much more interested in their own lives than they are in mine."

"It's women I admire more-- for character, honesty, daring, courage, curiosity, chance taking, general bravery about life-- but it's men who get the quick action."

"Overjoyed as I was to be Mrs. Bogart, I had no intention of allowing Miss Bacall to slide into oblivion."

"The truth is that I wanted it all-- all the time. And God knows I tried to have it. And God knows I almost did."

"Perhaps I'm the girl whom some Americans remember as having said a certain line in a certain picture."

"There is strength in being a new young face thrust into a group of people too used to one another."

"New York was real and California was not. 'Twas ever thus."

"A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?"

"They're guys who want to screw around all the time, which interests me not at all. God knows we've done that, been there, and we don't want to do that any more."

"I am essentially a loner."

"Find me a man who's interesting enough to have dinner with and I'll be happy."

"You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now."

"I'm not the public."
-------------

FAMOUS PERSON: Grace Kelly

"I've had happy moments in my life, but I don't think that happiness--being happy--is a perpetual state that anyone can be in. Life isn't that way."

"A person has to keep something to herself or your life is just a layout in a magazine."

"As an unmarried woman, I was thought to be a danger. Other women looked on me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal."

"I don’t want to dress up a picture with just my face. If anybody starts using me as scenery, I’ll return to New York."

"Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family."

"Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery."

"I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does."

"I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel. Getting angry doesn't solve anything."

"For a woman, forty is torture, the end. I think turning forty is miserable."
--------------

FAMOUS PERSON: Vivien Leigh

"It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh."

"Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants."

"Why can't I have a decent, clean illness?"

"I need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms."

"People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap."

"I'm not a film star – I'm an actress. Being a film star – just a film star – is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity."

"I am a mixture of my mother's determination and my father's optimism."

"Actresses go on for a long time and there are always marvelous parts to play."

"That's one of the two words in the English language I most detest - Pretty and the other is Beautiful."

MOVIE: "It Happened One Night"

[Peter hangs a blanket between the twin beds in their room at the autocamp]
Ellie Andrews: "That, I suppose, makes everything quite all right?"
Peter Warne: "Oh this? Well, I like privacy when I retire. Yes, I'm very delicate in that respect. Prying eyes annoy me. Behold the walls of Jericho! Uh, maybe not as thick as the ones that Joshua blew down with his trumpet, but a lot safer. You see, uh, I have no trumpet. Now just to show you my heart's in the right place, I'll give you my best pair of pajamas. "
[he offers her the pajamas - she ignores them - so he tosses them at her]
Peter Warne: "Uh, do you mind joining the Israelites?"
[indicates he wants her to go on the other side of the blanket - she doesn't budge]
Peter Warne: "You don't want to join the Israelites? Alright."
[he begins to undress]
Peter Warne: "Perhaps you're interested in how a man undresses. You know, it's a funny thing about that. Quite a study in psychology. No two men do it alike. You know, I once knew a man who kept his hat on until he was completely undressed. Yeah, now he made a picture. Years later, his secret came out. He wore a toupee. Yeah. You know, I have a method all my own. If you notice, the coat came first, then the tie, then the shirt. Now, uh, according to Hoyle, after that, the, uh, pants should be next. There's where I'm different... I go for the shoes next. First the right, then the left. After that it's, uh, every man for himself."
[he starts to unbuckle his pants and she runs to the other side of the blanket]

MOVIE: "High Society"

Caroline Lord: "What's this?"
[holds up a weird silver object]
Mrs. Lord: "I don't know dear."
Caroline Lord: "It stinks."
Mrs. Lord: "Caroline, don't say stinks. If absolutely necessary, smells, but only if absolutely necessary."

Mike: [about Caroline] "She's a lovely girl."
Tracy: "Yes, isn't she? Ah, but we're afraid she has a homicidal streak."

Tracy: "Are you learning anything about the idle rich?"
Mike: "Yeah, they drive too fast. Where are we headed anyway?"
Tracy: "The graveyard."
Mike: "I'm not ready."
Tracy: "I thought I'd show you the playground of the rich, the graveyard of the wealthy."
Mike: "Well, for that I'm ready."

Tracy: [Dexter dances with her outside] "Oh, it got dark all of a sudden."

Mike: "We'll go over the wall. Whose car should we use?"
Tracy: "Any one."
Mike: "How about that blue one?"
Tracy: "Oh no, that's mine!"

Tracy: [drunk] "There are fairies at the bottom of my garden all ringing little bells."

Tracy: "Isn't it a fine day. Is everybody fine? That's fine."

MOVIE: "The Women"

Sylvia Fowler: "You simply must see my hairdresser, I DETEST whoever does yours."

Sylvia Fowler: "Of course! She adores the Fowler family. Particularly my husband."
Countess Tamara: "Are you accusing me of flirting with Howard?"
Sylvia Fowler: "No, my little pet, but of trying to! I'd like to see Howard bat an eye at another woman!"
Countess Tamara: "Well I've seen him, and she's not bad either!"
Sylvia Fowler: "Did you get her innuendo?"

Sylvia Fowler: "Ohh... What I go through to keep my figure and do I see red when some fat, lazy, dinner partner says: 'What do you do with yourself all day Mrs. Fowler?' "
--------------

God is, of course, the reason I'm alive today: my Savior, my Lord.

Anne Frank is my #1 hero because of her bravery as a Jew in the Holocaust. Though she was known to be spoiled and sassy, her heart was always in the right place. In my heart, she will always be remembered as a writer-wanna-be who longed for love.

My mother is my best friend. She comes when I need her and comforts me in time of trouble. I consider myself blessed with a mother like her.
