The madmen seem to live on forever, don't they?
Naïveté, thy name is me.
He [Bogie] had tremendous character and a great sense of honor and would not tolerate lies, even if they asked him what he thought of a movie. We were once at a screening at somebody's house, I forget whose, and they ran a movie that he was in, that he never thought much of. Afterward, the producer asked what he thought of it, and Bogie said "I think it's a crock." And this producer was horrified! He was about to release the movie, and he said to Bogie "Why would you say that?!" Bogie shrugged and said "Then don't ask me." He never played the schmoozing game. He was not into that at all.
The industry is s**t, it's the medium that's great.
I always thought I had crooked eyebrows and crooked teeth. That's why I never understood why people called me a beauty.

Life is not what you expected it to be.
Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.
A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?
Always I'm feeling, 'You're never going to work again.' That's going to happen one day, but I hope I'm not alive.
I finally felt that I came into my own when I went on the stage.
Sophie, my dog, is the high in the highlights of my life. Even through rain, snow, ice, and general laziness, she is the reason I smile when I wake up and a comfort to me continually. I could never have imagined that a now five-pound, six-ounce dog would take over my life. But it has happened, and I am happy to have someone to look after and share my moods with.
As long as I can walk and talk, I'll try almost anything. I say "almost" because the high wire is definitely out.
If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?
