Life is amazing, life is odd. Life is not what you expected it to be. Things happen... Growing up takes longer than you think.

I'm crazy enough to believe in taking chances in every way, in making choices and gambling with your life. That's the kind of gambling I believe in.

I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.

Always I'm feeling, 'You're never going to work again.' That's going to happen one day, but I hope I'm not alive.

The best things in life are clean living, good works, and big saphires. And not in that order.

I have made mistakes in the past and been in movies that really weren't good, and that I needed the money at the time, or something -- and the money wasn't even that great. But I needed it, and... they come back on television, those movies... to haunt you. And it's a nightmare!

Everything in this country [the US] has got to be good looks and unlined faces and thin bodies and people running around in skirts slit up to their ass. It has nothing to do with thinking or with being a human being. There is life in mature people; it's not all over at 24½.
