One does not go to the theater to see life and nature; one goes to see the particular way in which life and nature happen to look to a cultivated, imaginative and entertaining man who happens, in turn, to be a playwright.

I have yet to find a man worth his salt in any direction who did not think of himself first and foremost.

I drink so the others become interesting.

An actor without a playwright is like a hole without a doughnut.

Musicals are to the theater what wines are to a substantial dinner.

The triumph of sugar over diabetes.

It is also said of me that I now and then contradict myself. Yes, I improve wonderfully as time goes on.
