Love is a hole in the heart.

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

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

Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.

For many years Hollywood held this double lure for me, tremendous sums of money for work that required no more effort than a game of pinochle.

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.

I'm a Hollywood writer, so I put on my sports jacket and take off my brain.
