People who refuse to rest honorably on their laurels when they reach retirement age seem very admirable to me.

We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.

When traveling with someone, take large does of patience and tolerance with your morning coffee.

I'm leaving the screen because I don't think I am very good in the pictures and I have this beautiful dream that I'm elegant on the stage.

Actors cannot choose the manner in which they are born. Consequently, it is the one gesture in their lives completely devoid of self-consciousness.

Stardom can be a gilded slavery.

There is only one terminal dignity - love.

The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity - love. And the story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.

Only the poet can look beyond the detail and see the whole picture.

If you rest, you rust.

The worst constructed play is a Bach fugue when compared to life.

Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day's work an achievement for eternity.

One has to grow up with good talk in order to form the habit of it.

Actors work and slave and it is the color of your hair that can determine your fate in the end.

From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.

The story of a love is not important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.

Childhood is a short season.

Legends die hard. They survive as truth rarely does.

I cry out for order and find it only in art.

Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to grow up... a lot of people don't have the courage to do it.

The good die young but not always. The wicked prevail but not consistently. I am confused by life, and I feel safe within the confines of the theatre.

Everybody starts at the top, and then has the problem of staying there. Lasting accomplishment, however, is still achieved through a long, slow climb and self-discipline.

There's a little vanity chair that Charlie gave me the first Christmas we knew each other. I'll not be parting with that, nor our bed - the four-poster - I'll be needing that to die in.

People who refuse to rest honorably on their laurels when they reach retirement age seem very admirable to me.

An actress's life is so transitory suddenly you're a building.

When traveling with someone take large dose of patience and tolerance with your morning coffee.

We relish news of our heroes forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.

Perhaps we have been misguided into taking too much responsibility from our children, leaving them too little room for discovery.

But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.

I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.

Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the loving heart.

I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.

For example, UNICEF works with governments to change legislation such as in India where a law was passed raising the age of compulsory school completion to keep children in school and away from the workplace for longer.

I wish I knew at 14 not to put much thought into what other people my age said to me, cause we were all looking for the answers. So I wish I knew that other people really don't know any more than you do!

I believe very firmly that gay people of every stripe and age should be role models for all children, and that means interacting with them.

Another principle is, the deepest affections of our hearts gather around some human form in which are incarnated the living thoughts and ideas of the passing age.

I read. It's also nice for me to get involved in schoolwork, which is a totally different world than acting. It makes me feel like I am doing things that normal people are doing at my age.
