Clint Eastwood is an extraordinary director because he knows the value of a buck. He knows where it will show on the screen.

Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides.

I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18!

I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.

I think of myself as a journeyman actress. I will attempt almost anything that I think that I can bring off. It could be almost anything.

A sitcom. I hate that word.

I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.

I started in London, as a kid. My mother knew I had sort of an inbred talent. She was an actress, so I inherited it from her. But I think I got a lot of it from my grandfather, who was a great politician.

I have never directed. But I think I could. I have thought about it. I'm a bit long in the tooth to start.

I never regretted what I turned down.

The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.

We all have levels of performance.

Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.

The theater is magical and addictive.

Believe me, it jabs you. When you're on the side of buses and New York loves you, you love to go out there every night. It's like a race. Curtain opens, out you go, and New York is yours.

I don't think about going back to the theater.

Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.

Praise, like gold and diamonds, owes its value only to its scarcity.

Lutherans, whose arguments and mistakes will not be difficult to contest or discover, do not want to attribute any value to works, and they do not understand enough the scope of the justification.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

Even as a coin attains its full value when it is spent, so life attains its supreme value when one knows how to forfeit it with grace when the time comes.

Making movies is eating candy. It's a very expensive candy, so you value when you can do it. So when you can do it twice at once, it's like, you know, a kid in a candy store!

It all comes back to the basics. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they'll keep coming back.

I believe my publisher has shown a great deal of faith in me over a lot of years but I'm not prepared to be so arrogant to say that the long-term literary value of my work would compensate them for a financial failure.

What you risk reveals what you value.

A great deal has been said about my commitment not to raise taxes. It's a core value - it's common sense - it's important to keeping and growing jobs - and it's mainstream!

No I haven't and all I can say is that if it's cost $600,000, I hope we get $600,000 worth of value out of it.

The high food value of field beans and the shortage of supply due to the light yields of 1915 and 1916 render them of great importance in the regions to which they are adapted.

The headline is the most important element of an ad. It must offer a promise to the reader of a believable benefit. And it must be phrased in a way to give it memory value.

In morals, truth is but little prized when it is a mere sentiment, and only attains its full value when realized in the world as fact.

Malcolm was a firm believer in the value and importance of our heritage. He believed that we have valuable and distinct cultural traditions which need to be institutionalized so that they can be passed on to our heirs.
