An epigram is only a wisecrack that's played at Carnegie Hall.

Debbie Reynolds is as wistful as an iron foundry.

Marriage is a triumph of habit over hate.

Ballet is the fairies' baseball.

I am no more humble than my talents require.

Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you'll find the real tinsel underneath.

In some situations I was difficult, in odd moments impossible, in rare moments loathsome, but at my best unapproachably great.
