Quotes

"Sometimes I just crave to play in Shakespeare again and I know and love playing Orlando so much."; "Never regret anything you have done with a sincere affection; nothing is lost that is born of the heart."; "I cannot tell you much about the picture- it depends on so many things, the first of which that comes to my mind is: splendid as he is, is there too much of Spencer Tracy."; "Could you let me have the 3 weeks due to me now and if I work again before August I must of course repay you at the rate of exchange you let me have it at now if you kindly will."; "As one grows older one becomes more critical of oneself and less of other people."
