I prefer the old masters, by which I mean John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.

Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.

Race hate isn't human nature; race hate is the abandonment of human nature.

Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.

My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

The essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing Hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it.

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

Personally, I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband. If she'll fool her husband, I figure she'll fool me.

I'm not denying Christ by not being Christian. I'm a theist, which involves expanding on the Christ narrative.

Goyim kill goyim and the Jews are blamed.

Joe Frazier is ugly. He has no rhythm, no footwork, no class, he cannot talk.

I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited.

Happy is the moment we sit together, with two forms, with two faces, yet one soul. You and I.
