When I left 20th Century-Fox to freelance, my agent believed that getting big money was the way to establish real importance in our industry.

I was a very wanting child.

A beguiling lady doesn't take after the swarm. She is herself.

I want no part of making any contribution whatsoever to the despair which eventually follows downbeat thinking.

Gratitude isn't a burdening emotion.

I believe you have to nurture your conscience.

Just after I entered my teens I suddenly entertained an insatiable enthusiasm for the delightful habit of criticizing others.
