It is not whether you really cry. It's whether the audience thinks you are crying.

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

Happiness is good health and a bad memory.

I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman.

Cancer victims who don't accept their fate, who don't learn to live with it, will only destroy what little time they have left.

Until 45 I can play a woman in love. After 55 I can play grandmothers. But between those ten years, it is difficult for an actress.

I do not know how to kiss, or I would kiss you. Where do the noses go?

Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.

It is not whether you really cry. It's whether the audience thinks you are crying.

I've gone from saint to whore and back to saint again, all in one lifetime.

I remember one day sitting at the pool and suddenly the tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why was I so unhappy? I had success. I had security. But it wasn't enough. I was exploding inside.

I made so many films which were more important, but the only one people ever want to talk about is that one with Bogart.

Never again! I can see no reason for marriage - ever at all. I've had it. Three times is enough.

There are advantages to being a star though - you can always get a table in a full restaurant.

If you took acting away from me, I'd stop breathing.

Be yourself. The world worships the original.

I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked, earned money and was independent at 18.

I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.

I can do everything with ease on the stage, whereas in real life I feel too big and clumsy. So I didn't choose acting. It chose me.

I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn't shut up!

A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear; kisses are the messengers of love and tenderness.

Be yourself. The world worships an original.

Getting old is like climbing a mountain you get a little out of breath but the view is much better

I have a very, very creative family.

Elaine and I got married in summer 1979, we went on our honeymoon and came back for the premiere of 'Scum.' All of sudden my face was on billboards in Leicester Square and people were crowding outside the cinema, going mad about the film. It was a complete shock.

I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music.

Is fair and wise and good and gay.

A lot of young directors, they're not confident; they're not open to the emotional level of the scene.

Growing up on, say, the Upper East Side, you're so isolated. If you go to the Hamptons every weekend, you never talk to a construction worker, and the construction worker would never talk to you.

I think creating of any sort, whatever line you're in, is paramount - you can be an architect, you can be a banker, you can be anything - I think that when you create, you're closest to God and yourself.

Within the E.U., in a wider context, people are increasingly recognising the need to prevent the abuse of free movement.

Philosophy will clip an angel's wings.

Nerd life is so much better than regular life.

My parents were teetotalers and my grandparents were - it's all the way back. It's New English puritanical tradition.

California - with more cars, more drivers and more people - still has less DWI-related deaths than Texas does.

I don't know what I am. I guess you can call me a character actor in the sense that I'll never be an ingenue. You know, that's over. My shot was missed. I take a normal person and make them more of a character. I don't know what that would be called.

I think the Democratic Party has picked a lot of the wrong candidates, the kind that Middle America, or people who are more down the middle and more rational, can't side with. I think that's been the problem.

I'm mainly an airport author, and if you're trying to take your mind off the journey, you're not going to read 'King Lear.'

My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'

It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.

I don't know why women aren't allowed to have the same sort of breadth and scope and flaws of men.

It is the hopeful, buoyant, cheerful attitude of mind that wins. Optimism is a success builder; pessimism an achievement killer.

I think that theater is a unique way to communicate with people as they gather together with other people they may not even know. It creates a sense of shared community for the time of the performance that hopefully carries over into other aspects of the audience's life because they have shared this experience together.

Hunger is almost like something the West does. It's almost like the direct result of the way the West performs.

I'm a big believer in 'pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start again.'

A defeated wrestler never tires of wrestling again.

One day cricket is like fast food. No one wants to cook.
