We are usually undone by our lack of understanding of ourselves.

I can be as contrary as I choose.

I always loved movies and the cinema; we always used to go to see films as a family.

The business of life is learning that you can't lay down the terms.

My parents came from different backgrounds. My father's was grander than my mother's, so my mother had... to put up with the disapproval of my father's relations.

Sometimes it is quite surprising, the emotional intensity of it. I was in NY one day, in Barnes and Noble, and I could see this woman following me around and after a bit I stopped and said 'Hello' and she just looked at me and said: “PLEASE LET EDITH BE HAPPY!”

Success means your thoughts are worthy of everyones consideration.
