It is true that in America I've become a national hero, but really I was a hopeless case, that was all.

What would you be like if you were the only person in the world? If you want to be truly happy you must be that person.

Ask yourself, if there was to be no blame, and if there was to be no praise, who would I be then?

You can't be a person and a lady. If you're a person, you can open the damned door yourself.

To say a thing is natural is to condone it, never to praise it.

The poverty from which I have suffered could be diagnosed as 'Soho' poverty. It comes from having the airs and graces of a genius and no talent.

America believes in freedom. The English don't believe in it. They don't believe in happiness.
