I'm terrible at practical jokes. I do them too well, so they're not funny. I end up saying, 'Oh, no, I'm joking, I'm joking.'

Confidence is something you're born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.

Hedy Lamarr

Those youngsters go out there and set a record and clinch the pole position. But what do you do if you wreck your car. That record doesn't spend too well.

Buck Baker

The best thing about animals is they don't talk much.

Thornton Wilder

Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.

Mel Brooks

On banks, I make no apology for attacking spivs and gamblers who did more harm to the British economy than Bob Crow could achieve in his wildest Trotskyite fantasies, while paying themselves outrageous bonuses underwritten by the taxpayer.

Patti Stanger

Cosmic Ordering does not judge you.

Stephen Richards

I used to go and flatten my nose against that window and absorb all I could of his art. It changed my life. I saw art then as I wanted to see it.

Mary Cassatt

The wide wonder of Broadway is disconsolate in the daytime; but gaudily glorious at night, with a milling crowd filling sidewalk and roadway, silent, going up, going down, between upstanding banks of brilliant lights, each building braided and embossed with glowing, many-colored bulbs of man-rayed luminance. A glowing valley of the shadow of life. The strolling crowd went slowly by through the kinematically divine thoroughfare of New York.

Sean O'Casey

No more words. We know them all, all the words that should not be said. But you have made my world more perfect.

Terry Pratchett

The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.

Vladimir Nabokov

I still love him so much I'll hide any amount of conjugated estrogen in his food. So much I'll do anything to destroy him.

Chuck Palahniuk
