I think when an actress marries she should leave the stage. She cannot be happy if she is married and remains on the stage. She must care more for her art or for her husband.

A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.

Age is of no importance unless you are a cheese.

To survive there, you need the ambition of a Latin-American revolutionary, the ego of a grand opera tenor, and the physical stamina of a cow pony.

Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.

A woman isn't as old as she thinks she is. She's as old as men think she is.

But if people will laugh at my work and keep a sound roof over my head, who am I to complain?

Sin in the theater, I can observe now, is comparable to education in a university: it is there for those who wish to take advantage of it, but fewer do than you might suspect.

Twins are so practical. It's always nice to have a spare.

Forty-seven is nothing at all, nor is any age unless you're a cheese.

If I ever loved a man better than I love my art, I should marry him and leave the stage. But I have never met such a man.

...most of the time, all you have is the moment, and the imperfect love of the people around you.

Assume that you are part-hypocrite and part heedless, and you will not be far wrong.

Flesh, blood, bone--the body is only a container for who we truly are inside.

We can never prove that we are free or integrate our freedom in any way into our objective conception of the causal order of nature.

Even when I stop performing or stop making records I won't stop being creative. Songwriting is a good outlet.

We should never judge a day by its weather.

Comedy works in fashion cycles, in a way. And sometimes, studios will imitate those cycles a little too much.

One should love animals. They are so tasty.

Redundancy of language is never found with deep reflection. Verbiage may indicate observation, but not thinking. He who thinks much says but little in proportion to his thoughts.

Thought is powerless, except it make something outside of itself: the thought which conquers the world is not contemplative but active.
