"We only kill each other"

-- Bugsy Siegel

“Pain is inevitable as long as you are identified with your mind.”
“I have a cultural background that's shaped in England, France and Germany. Bringing that in is nice, in terms of how an actor plays a role or speaks in an interview.”
“You can get far in North America with laconic grunts. "Huh," "hun," and "hi!" in their various modulations, together with "sure," "guess so," "that so?" and "nuts!" will meet almost any contingency.”
“Laughter's the nearest we ever get, or should get, to sainthood. It's the state of grace that saves most of us from contempt.”

“How much does a man live, after all?/ Does he live a thousand days, or one only? For a week, or for several centuries?/ How long does a man spend dying?/ What does it mean to say 'for ever'?”
“I don't trip on that much. I just like to enjoy life and be happy.”
“Women are the volatile vote at the end-particularly independent, non-college-educated married women.”
“When love congeals It soon reveals The faint aroma of performing seals, The double-crossing of a pair of heels. I wish I were in love again!”
