ego males exception
The male ego with few exceptions is elephantine to start with.
hero giving people
There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.
funny sexy waiting
From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it.
way hell one-way
There's only one way to work -- like hell.

I wanted to be the first to win three Oscars, but Miss Hepburn has done it. Actually it hasn't been done. Miss Hepburn only won half an Oscar. If they'd given me half an Oscar I would have thrown it back in their faces. You see, I'm an Aries. I never lose.
