A merry Christmas to all my friends except two.

A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.

I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I wasted.

The man in our society is the breadwinner; the woman has enough to do as the homemaker, wife and mother.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.

I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.

I exercise strong self control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.

Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake.

A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.

How well I remember my first encounter with The Devil'ss Brew. I happened to stumble across a case of bourbon - and went right on stumbling for several days thereafter.

If you know whence you came, there is really no limit to where you can go.

You never walk alone when you have yourself by your side.

Oh Time, you arise with parting! [О, Время, ты от разлуки!]

I want to be remembered as part of the group of the greatest players ever.

I've proven that I'm not a complete failure. Every film has done well. It's like, "So, okay, when do I get my deal at Warner Bros?

My vision is my best attribute. I can see everything.

The international community should support a system of laws to regularize international relations and maintain the peace in the same manner that law governs national order.

I didn't like having reasonable arguments thrown at me.

Most people don't manage to the utmost of their ability because they don't want to.

But everything of value about me is in my books.
