marriage giving-up names
Should I marry W? Not if she won't tell me the other letters in her name. And what about her career? How can I ask a woman of her beauty to give up the Roller Derby? Decisions...
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.
cancer giving smoking
I don't inhale because it gives you cancer, but I look so incredibly handsome with a cigarette that I can't not hold one.
giving people actors
For some reason it gives people pleasure to equate the life of certain movie actors or actresses with their actual lives.
simple capacity-to-love giving
Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly, human happiness does not seem to be included in the design of creation.

light average giving
What advice would I give the average homeowner to protect himself against burglars? Well, the first thing is to keep a light on in the house when you go out. It must be at least a sixty-watt bulb; anything less and the burglar will ransack the house, out of contempt for the wattage.
ideas giving long
I enjoy the making of the film and it's something for me to do. If nobody ever comes to my films, if people don't want to give me money to make films, that will stop me. But as long as people come all over the world and I have an audience and I have ideas for films, I will do them for as long as I enjoy the process. And I like the whole process of making a film.
two giving trying
I took a puff of the wrong cigarette at a fraternity dance once, and the cops had to get me, y'know. I broke two teeth trying to give a hickie to the Statue of Liberty.
