The older you get, the more you realize that kindness is synonymous with happiness

Half the people in Hollywood are dying to be discovered and the other half are afraid they will be.

This is the age of insincerity. The movies had the misfortune to come along in the twentieth century, and because they appeal to the masses there can be no sincerity in them.

Hollywood is tied hand and foot to the demands for artificiality of the masses all over the world.
