It's so easy to make a person who hasn't got anything seem wrong.

Yes, I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. Sad, sad, sad.

You can pretend for a long time, but one day it all falls away and you are alone. We are alone in the most beautiful place in the world.

A room is, after all, a place where you hide from the wolves. That's all any room is.

The feeling of Sunday is the same everywhere, heavy, melancholy, standing still.

I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness.

I am the only real truth I know.

Now I no longer wish to be loved, beautiful, happy or successful. I want one thing and one thing only - to be left alone.

I've been so ridiculous all my life that a little bit more or a little bit less hardly matters now.

It is nobody’s responsibility but yours to discover your assignment and to execute that very assignment.

Reality is a life sentence.

If women were particular about men's characters, they would never get married at all.

The fact is, when it comes to economic leadership, the Republicans have nothing to brag about. This isn't what the American people want. They want to see progress that works for them.

Death by hanging... well, in view of the whole situation, I never expected anything different. It's all right.

I have worked alone and with a cast and enjoy the process both ways. There is more back-and-forth with a full cast, and you can feed off the other actors' performance.

Accurate reading on a wide range of subjects makes the scholar; careful selection of the better makes the saint.

It doesn't make any sense. If the SIM are policemen, secret or not, shouldn't we trust them instead of being afraid of them?

Don't get older just to get wiser. If you get older, you will be wiser, I believe that - if you dare. But get older because it's fun!
