"Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent"

"Women are responsible for their children, they cannot sit back, waste time and see them starve"

"Women are responsible for creating their own roles"

"Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed"

"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his"

"They'll always be an England, even if it's in Hollywood"

"They say women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men"

"Hollywood didn't know if I was an actor or a nut or if I was this crazy character I was playing. I had developed an image of being a little bit unusual, different and wild"

"What's really exciting for me is communicating to other people and not just going somewhere to make a movie. That's Hollywood to me and it would mean nothing"

"Americans like fat books and thin women"
