I don't want realism. I'll tell you what I want. Magic! Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth. And if that is sinful, then let me be damned for it!

Morning can always be counted on to bring us back to a more realistic level.

Deliberate cruelty is unforgivable. --Blanche Dubois

The only unforgivable sin is deliberate cruelty.

It is a terrible thing for an old woman to outlive her dogs.

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

All good art is an indiscretion.
