Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

I am more afraid of an army of 100 sheep led by a lion than an army of 100 lions led by a sheep.

Too much sensibility creates unhappiness and too much insensibility creates crime.

Since the masses are always eager to believe something, for their benefit nothing is so easy to arrange as facts.

I always think instinct is more interesting than anything you can think up. I mistrust and am rather bored with actors who are of the Stanislavski school who think about detail.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And that's definitely changed.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
