I love movies to death. I spent my entire youth in front of a TV watching old movies.

Babies don't need fathers, but mothers do. Someone who is taking care of a baby needs to be taken care of.

Bitterness is so ugly.

I don't know what goes on behind my back... I always feel like, if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything.

Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women.

A lot of my movies were completely destroyed by the censors, who can be pretty arbitrary. They're not completely fair with how they treat one person vs. another.

Sometimes people say oh you did one of my favorite movies and I will ask them what the other one is and it's always something that I totally hate.

If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank.

I went to art and design high school with a lot of people taking fashion. They would get up in the morning, and what they put on meant a lot to them.

I attended Art & Design High School, and at one point, you had to write about what you wanted to be when you grew up. I wrote that I wanted to be a writer for 'Mad' magazine.

I get offered: 'Here's a girl who's mad at another girl for having a wedding on the same day.' That'll be a big hit, but I don't want to do that.

London, dirty little pool of life

Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one's own past failings.

Hard work often leads to success. No work seldom does.

What we do not understand we have no right to judge

Well, maybe I'm not so emotionally dysfunctional after all.

A neurosis is a secret that you don’t know you are keeping.

You won't hear from me again.

The fool too late, his substance eaten up, reckons the cost.

Isn't it possible, he wondered, for one person to love another without trying to own each other? Or is that buried so deep in our genes that we can never get it out? Territoriality.

Here lies Walter Winchell in the dirt he loved so well.
