| "Berlioz says nothing in his music, but he says it magnificently." |
"He who helps destroy the boll-weevil has done as constructive work as he who plants the seed."
|
|
"When I see the Ten Most Wanted lists, I always have this thought: If we'd made them feel wanted earlier, they wouldn't be wanted now."
|
 |
"The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always pretend to be more stupid than one is and no one is surprised."
|
"I thought I told you to wait in the car."
|
 |
| "So who's perfect? Washington had false teeth. Franklin was nearsighted. Mussolini had syphilis. Unpleasant things have been said about Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde. Tchaikovsky had his problems, too. And Lincoln was constipated." |
"The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little."
|
"If those absolutely important things are ignored, of how we speciated, how we adapted to the planet, then we're going to lose something precious. There won't be anywhere to go and no place to come home to."
|
"Are you looking for a Negro who won't fight back?"
|
 |
"Heck, I drank no more than John Wayne or Ward Bond or Spencer Tracy or Alan Ladd or Robert Walker. But it got me into a lot more trouble."
|
"I've enjoyed wonderful health. The only time I ever got sick was when I watched Barbra Streisand in 'Hello, Dolly!' on an airplane."
|
 |
| "For me it was like I was an old car and I was being taken out for a ride at one hundred mph; and I kind of liked it, because I was really getting rid of a lot of rust." |  |
"We've come a long way, but it's like nibbling at the edge of darkness."
|
 |
"They gave you a book of checks. They didn't ask for any deposits."
|
| "I don't sit around and wait for great parts. I'm an actress, and I love being one, and I'll probably be doing it till I'm 72, standing around the backlot doing 'Gunsmokes.'" |  |
"We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand."
|
 |
"Understand that sexuality is as wide as the sea. Understand that your morality is not law. Understand that we are you. Understand that if we decide to have sex whether safe, safer, or unsafe, it is our decision."
|
"I think she's just a bad, bad brain with an unused fanny."
|
 |
"People go 'You look a lot like Minnie Driver.' Once I said, 'Thanks, Minnie is a great actress.' But, it blew up in my face. This person said, 'Nah, didn't like the last movie she did.'"
|
 |
"I may not ever get over her. I really do still love that girl."
