Flops are a part of life's menu and Eve never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses.

Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic.

Taste. You cannot buy such a rare and wonderful thing. You can't send away for it in a catalogue. And I'm afraid it's becoming obsolete.

Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death.

When something happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.

Flops are a part of life's menu and I've never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses.

My mother was Irish and she was superstitious, if you'll forgive the tautology.

Seal my lips on aches and pains. They are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

Success is a public affair. Failure is a private funeral.

Moments. A couple of moments that people remember, that they can take with them, is what makes a good movie.

Do you know what makes a movie work? Moments. Give the audience half a dozen moments they can remember, and they'll leave the theatre happy.

The tragedy of life is when you do not know what to do with time

Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

There's such a thing, if you're a finance man, as hitting the figures you need to hit. But there's no equivalent in acting. It's a creative field. It's subjective. That's what I love about it.

The busier you are, the less time you have to make decisions.

At every sunrise I renounce the doubts of night and greet the new day of a most precious delusion.

Shall I tell you what you have that other men don't?.... It's the courage of your own tenderness.

Freedom, liberty, individual rights, that idea of dealing with other people in a matter that is not initiating force against them, is critical to me.

There's just such a premium on hurrying, and the camera is the be all and end all, and the actors had better hurry up and get it right and get it done.

You have to set the tone and the pace, define objectives and strategies, and demonstrate through personal example what you expect from others.
