Out of the seventy movies I've written some ten of them were not entirely waste product.

In Hollywood a starlet is the name for any woman under thirty who is not actively employed in a brothel.

I'll tell you a secret. We live in a mad and inspiring world.

I have known a number of Don Juans who were good studs and who cavorted between the sheets without a psychiatrist to guide them. But most of the busy love-makers I knew were looking for masculinity rather than practicing it. They were fellows of dubious lust.

I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt.

When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance.

In moderating, not satisfying desires, lies peace.
