People will like you who never met you, they think you're absolutely wonderful; and then people also will hate you, for reasons that have nothing to do with any real experience with you. People don't want to lose their enemies. We have favorite enemies, people we love to hate and we hate to love. If they do something good, we don't like it. I found myself doing that with Ronald Reagan. He is anathema to me. If he does something that's reasonable, I find my mind trying to find some way to interpret it so that it's not reasonable, so that somewhere it's jingoist extremism.

Hollywood is run by Jews, it is owned by Jews.

Horror and moral terror are your friends.

I value each woman for what she has to offer whether it be charm-beauty-wit-intelligence or humor but warmth is the quality I value most.

If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.

The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.
