What I like in a good author is not what he says but what he whispers.

The test of a vocation is the love of the drudgery it involves.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

I'd rather have one good scene in a movie by a great director than a small role in a mediocre movie.

Stardom can be a gilded slavery.
