I had these slinky eyes and a sense of humor.

Life is not a having and a getting, but a being and a becoming.

They say the movies should be more like life; I think life should be more like the movies.

Some perfect wife I am. I've been married four times, divorced four times, have no children, and can't boil an egg.

Why does every black person in the movies have to play a servant? How about a black person walking up the steps of a courthouse carrying a briefcase?

If you're bored in New York, it's your own fault.

Life is not about having and getting. It's about being and becoming.

I think that carrying on a life that is meant to be private in public is a breach of taste, common sense, and mental hygiene.

I never enjoyed my work more than when I worked with William Powell. He was a brilliant actor, a delightful companion, a great friend and, above all, a true gentleman.

I was a homely kid with freckles that came out every spring and stuck on me till Christmas.

I got rid of all those reporters.

Perfection all the time would drive them mad. For every perfect little town, there's something ugly underneath. No dream without the nightmare.

It's not an easy gig, being in the NRL sometimes: you always feel for the boys because you have that mutual respect knowing what they go through.

It feels like I'm babysitting in the Twilight Zone. I keep waiting for the parents to show up because we are out of chips and diet cokes.

I don't like being on my own. I'm happy meeting people and collaborating.

I didn't do too much. I came here (to The Magic Castle) and learned about magic. I read a book, but not his father's book. Sorry about that.

Water always seeks the easiest path, the common level of life.

Jesting is often only indigence of intellect.

We exercise great caution in airing an audio- or videotape released by a terrorist organization holding a hostage. These are decisions made by CNN's editorial staff and not by any third party.

For me, juggling mommyhood and work is a challenge, but each day I learn little tricks to make it all come together.

For a while, I felt a little self-impelled to write Lou Reed Kind of songs. I should have understood that a Lou Reed song was anything I wanted to write about.
