There's no damn business like show business - you have to smile to keep from throwing up.

In this country, don't forget, a habit is no damn private hell. There's no solitary confinement outside of jail. A habit is hell for those you love. And in this country it's the worst kind of hell for those who love you.

You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave.

The difficult I'll do right now. The impossible will take a little while.

You can't copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling.

Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose.

There's no damn business like show business - you have to smile to keep from throwing up.
