The most important thing is growing old gracefully.

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.

If we are meant to "love thy neighbor as theyself," then surely we should love the world's children as our own.

Whatever you love most, you fear you might lose, you know it can change. Why do you look from left to right when you cross the street? Because you don’t want to get run over. But, you still cross the street.

Each, in its own way, was unforgettable. It would be difficult to - Rome! By all means, Rome. I will cherish my visit here in memory as long as I live.

People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.'

I realize that most of us live on the skin - on the surface - without appreciating just how wonderful it is simply to be alive at all.
