Bette Davis

Margo: (after gulping down another martini and marching to the staircase) "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night."

Old age is no place for sissies.

Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone, but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

This became a credo of mine . . . attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.
