maturity age teeth
Is old age really so terrible? Not if you've brushed your teeth faithfully.
work chinese shallow
I work for a company that makes deceptively shallow serving dishes for Chinese restaurants.
witty falling-in-love children
You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in love is a very strange paradox. The paradox consists of the fact that, when we fall in love, we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom we were attached as children. On the other hand, we ask our beloved to correct all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted upon us. So that love contains in it the contradiction: The attempt to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past.
marriage believe people
I'm very old-fashioned. I believe that people should stay married for life, like pigeons and Catholics.
emotional giving goes-on
I have a limitless amount of great music at my disposal and it's very, very pleasurable because when the music goes on the film it's amazing how much it livens up the film and gives it an emotional kick in the pants, sort of.
business want oscars
When the Academy called, I panicked. I thought they might want their Oscars back and the pawn shop has been out of business for a while.
funny humor world
How is it possible to find meaning in a finite world, given my waist and shirt size?
country hero comedian
The whole country was tied together by radio. We all experienced the same heroes and comedians and singers. They were giants.
years hell social
I don't know what the hell I'm doing here. I'm 237 years old, I should be collecting social security.
ideas lunch people
I myself don't like to speak to the actors at all. I like to hire great people and let them do their thing. I don't like to speak to them. I don't like to have lunch with them. I don't like to socialize with them. I don't like to hear their ideas.
names want trouble
Well, trouble's my middle name. Actually, my middle name is Marion, but I don't want you spreading that around.
children humor tables
Humorists always sit at the children's table.
years toilets sake
For God sakes, this is a woman I was married to for 10 years. We made love. I'd hold her head over the toilet bowl when she threw up.
profound intellectual film
One filmmaker makes films that are deep, intellectual, profound and confrontational. And the other one makes purely vacuous, escapist films. I'm not sure the one who makes escapist films is making a poorer contribution than the one who makes the deeper films.
