I get on the floor, and I can do things a woman a fifth my age can't do.

I was near sighted. I was born myopic, and I got glasses, right after that.

My mother thought Hollywood was a den of iniquity, and people came to terrible bad ends there.

And I didn't. That's why my career was very short-lived.

I was taken to concerts when I was six, seven years old, and sat in a box throughout the whole evening.

So I got caught up in the same wave as everybody else and went right out to Hollywood, to make movies.

I was born in New Orleans, and I wasn't allowed to go to the movies.

And I wasn't crazy about Hollywood in those days.

It was considered oh, not proper for children to go to the movies.

TV cameras seem to add ten pounds to me. So I make it a policy never to eat TV cameras.

It never occurred to me that I looked like a movie star.

I wish you were small again, so I could hold you in my arms and comfort you. But you are grown, and you know that for some things there is no comfort.

Apathy is the door to ignorance. Empathy is the door to wisdom.

A good soldier has his heart and soul in it. When he receives an order, he gets a hard on, and when he drives his lance through his enemy's guts, he comes.

There is only one true wealth in all the universe. I have given you some of it. I have given your father and your mate some of it. And your friends. This wealth is living time.

Spontaneous is what you get after the seventeenth draft.

I see the cure is not worth the pain.

There's nothing wrong with a little fear. Being fearful can save your life-it's saved mine on more than one occasion-but too much fear can stop you from living.

What is one man's gain is another's loss.

I prefer Offenbach to Bach often.

And I feel that filmmakers ought to be careful with the use of 3D. Because if you look back over the decades, you see that 3D has come and gone for I don't know how many years now.
