It`s important to know where you`ve come from so that you can know where you`re going. I probably chose my profession because I was seeking approval, adulation, admiration and affection.
I think that making love is the best form of exercise.
Sometimes angels rush in where fools fear to tread.
One pretends to do something, or copy someone or some teacher, until it can be done confidently and easily in what becomes one's own style
I am reminded of a piece of advice my father gave me regarding shoes. ...He said it is better to buy one good pair of shoes than four cheap ones. One pair made of fine leather could outlast four inferior pairs and, if well-cared-for, would continue to proclaim your good judgment and taste no matter how old they become.
You know I have about the same interest in jewelry as I have in politics, horse racing, modern poetry, and women who need weird excitement – none.
I may not have married for very sound reasons, but money was the least of them.
I was a self-centered bore. I was masochistic, and only thought I was happy. When I woke up and said, "there must be something wrong with me", I grew up. Because I never understood myself, how could I hope to understand anyone else? That's why I can truly say that now I can give a woman love for the first time in my life, because I can understand her.
There's no point in being unhappy about growing older. Just think of the millions who have been denied the privilege.
I began by acting like the person I wanted to be, and eventually I became that person.
Simplicity, to me, has always been the essence of good taste.
Destiny is not necessarily what we get out of life, but rather, what we give.
...and there I suddenly found my articulate self in a dazzling land of smiling, jostling people wearing and not wearing all sorts of costumes and doing all sorts of clever things. And that's when I knew! What other life could there be but that of an actor?
We should all just smell well and enjoy ourselves more.
