The bible of cooking. The all-time argument ender. Early in my cooking career, I wielded my Larousse like a weapon and it never let me down.
As actors, you play people who are not yourselves!
I've not sat with my agent going: 'Where is the next hopeless girl I can play?' They just come along.
Playing a plainer role means everything is dependent on the credentials of the actor, not the fact that they are as pretty as Julia Roberts. People start to look at their talent rather than their appearance. And playing the ugly part often means less time in the make-up chair, which is a great benefit on set.

Being at home is a job in itself and raising a family for sure.
The Twenties have this sort of attitude where you never know whats around the corner.
Many people have said to me, "What a pity you had such a big family to raise. " "Think of the novels and the short stories and the poems you never had time to write because of that. " And I looked at my children and I said, "These are my poems, these are my stories. "
What use is my mind? Granted that it enables me to hail a bus and to pay my fare. But once I am inside my studio, what use is my mind? I have my model, my pencil, my paints. My mind doesn't interest me.

An unaspiring person always complaints. There is no end to his complaints. He bitterly complains even when the blessings of opportunity knock at his very door.
