The first time I saw a picture of [fabled actress] Ethel Barrymore - she was on Broadway and she was wearing pearls. I thought, "That's who I should grow up to be." It's odd, because it was her physical image that I wanted; I had no idea what it was like actually to be her. In those days, we weren't bombarded by images the way we are now, and the ones we did have were more vivid in people's minds.

If you're frightened, you're out of luck.

The worst part of success is to try to find someone who is happy for you.

There are bugs and there are the pigeons and other predators, but you shouldn't be afraid of them, because this is how nature works.

Men's brains are smaller than those of women so they can fit into their penises.

I love nature, in spite of what it did to me.

It's important that you all agree on what the parameters are and what you can accomplish - and not get pissed off or beat yourself up for what you can't accomplish.
