I love acting. It is so much more real than life.

Young women especially have something invested in being nice people, and it's only when you have children that you realise you're not a nice person at all, but generally a selfish bully.

We shelter children for a time; we live side by side with men; and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.

There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.

The greatest things are accomplished by individual people, not by committees or companies.

The desire for self-expression afflicts people when they feel there is something of themselves which is not getting through to the outside world.

People give us credit only for what we ourselves believe.

Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.

Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens.

Men are irrelevant.

Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.

No one could be more happy than a man who has never known affliction.
