David Hare

Daphne du Maurier

Graham Greene
I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.
Michael Caine
I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I was a giraffe, and someone said I was a snake, I'd think, no, actually I'm a giraffe.
Richard Gere
You can never betray the people who are dead, so you go on being a public Jew; the dead can't answer slurs, but I'm here. I would love to think that Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but he doesn't.
Anita Brookner

Glenn Close
People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall.
Leonardo DiCaprio

Julia Roberts
All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upwards on the miseries or credulities of mankind.
Joseph Conrad
If cinema is a woman then certainly there are many shores.
