How could you forget someone you loved even if I did rip his heart to shreds?
Once I was condemned to three months' absolute silence. As I could not speak, I wrote a book.
I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.
When you want something very dearly, you make the time.
One of the most wonderful memories in my life was when I sang at the Opera House in Sydney. I will never forget that. It is one of the most beautiful Houses I have ever sung in my life.
It's nice to look good, but the most important thing is to be you.
How you looked was not important. It was what you did and how you did it. Decide to do it and then do it the best way you can.
Our age is one of guided missiles and unguided men.
Passion, interest, or caprice, suggested daily motives for the dissolution of marriage; a word, a sign, a message, a letter, the mandate of a freedman, declared the separation; the most tender of human connections was degraded to a transient society of profit or pleasure.
I also thought of playing improvisational jazz and I did take lessons for a while. At first I tried to write fiction by making up things that were completely alien to my life.
When in doubt, wear red.
