Actors cannot choose the manner in which they are born. Consequently, it is the one gesture in their lives completely devoid of self-consciousness.

At 50, you need to laugh about your age. If you don't, everybody else will do it for you. Happy birthday, old chum!

Love is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
