One has to grow up with good talk in order to form the habit of it.
I'm leaving the screen because I don't think I am very good in the pictures and I have this beautiful dream that I'm elegant on the stage.
Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to grow up... a lot of people don't have the courage to do it.
From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.
People who refuse to rest honorably on their laurels when they reach retirement age seem very admirable to me.
The good die young but not always. The wicked prevail but not consistently. I am confused by life, and I feel safe within the confines of the theatre.
Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day's work an achievement for eternity.
The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity - love. And the story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
When traveling with someone, take large does of patience and tolerance with your morning coffee.
I cry out for order and find it only in art.
Age is not important unless you're a cheese.
