My personal feeling is that people need to be careful not to start over-analyzing and taking things apart and trying to be critical.
If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself.
He who never puts his trust in any man will never be deceived.
An artist who lacks the power of self-criticism accomplishes but little. It is good if your work stands higher than your own opinion of it; bad if it is on the same level. But it is a great disaster if your work stands lower than your judgment of it.
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
My home in Hollywood is not a home. I do a film here, a film there, as they want it. I don't have a relationship. Like, Warner Bros. has a great relationship with Clint Eastwood and takes care of him.
You must be a poet, a lady of evil luck desiring to be what you are not, longing to be what you can only visit.
I think that notion of being a seeker, somebody who never felt totally fulfilled, but was always passionate about the search, that comes from the background, probably.
When I first thought of being a writer I had visions of stacks of books in stores with my name on them, that sort of thing. But I never imagined this would be the reaction.
