“Loved people are loving people.”

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.

It is the plain women who know about love; the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.

I realised long ago that skirts are hopeless. Anytime I hear a man say he prefers a woman in a skirt, I say, ‘Try one. Try a skirt.’

It’s either some kind of electricity or some kind of energy. I don’t know what it is, but whatever it is, I’ve got it.

Isn’t it fun getting older? is really a terrible fallacy. That’s like saying I prefer driving an old car with a flat tire.

I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they’re good or there because they’re lucky.

I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done; as long as I enjoyed it at the time.

If you survive long enough, you’re revered – rather like an old building.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

I don’t think that work ever really destroyed anybody. I think that lack of work destroys them a hell of a lot more.

I’m a legend because I’ve survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate – I’m still paddling the goddamned boat myself.

If you’re given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal.

I have many regrets, and I’m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret if you have any sense, and if you don’t regret them, maybe you’re stupid.

It’s how you live that really counts.

A sharp knife cuts the quickest and hurts the least.

I’ve made forty-three pictures. Naturally I’m adorable in all of them.

I miss you when you’re not there. When you’re happy, it makes me happy. But I could say the same thing about Charlie, Jacob. You’re family. I love you, but I’m not in love with you.

I love finding things that scare me and doing them. That’s how you grow.

The reason I love my dog so much is because when I come home, he’s the only one in the world who treats me like I’m the Beatles.

You make me wish for everything and nothing more all at once.

And I really do believe that the most important thing is the way you live your life on earth. But I think it’s enormously comforting to believe that you’re going to see your loved ones.

What makes friendship indissolute and what doubles its charms is a feeling we find lacking in love: I mean certitude.

Sometimes you have to learn to love what’s good for you.

Your eyes was the color of forever.
