Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world.

Yes, I saw Twilight - my granddaughter made me watch it, she said it was the greatest vampire film ever. After the 'film' was over I wanted to smack her across her head with my shoe, but I do not want a (tell-all) book called Grannie Dearest written on me when I die. So instead I gave her a DVD of Murnau's 1922 masterpiece Nosferatu and told her, 'Now that's a vampire film!' And that goes for all of you! Watch Nosferatu instead!

Hollywood is the only place in the world where an amicable divorce means each one gets fifty percent of the publicity.

The purity of Jewish upbringing - the restrictions that one carries through life being a 'nice Jewish girl' - what a burden.

I am not a has-been. I am a will-be.

I'll miss Hollywood. Of the twenty friends I thought I had, I'll miss the six I really had.

Patience was not my strong point.
