gptkbp:famous_quote
|
“ I am not a has-been. I am a will be.”
' I will not be ignored.'
“ I’d love to kiss you, but I just washed my hair.”
“ There comes a time in every woman’s life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne.”
“ The best thing about me is that I’m not you.”
“ Old age is no place for sissies.”
' What a dump!' in Beyond the Forest
“ I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered!”
“ I am just too much.”
“ It’s not the heat, it’s the humility.”
“ Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!”
“ There’s one thing I always wanted to do before I quit, and that’s to have a kid.”
“ There’s one thing I always tell my students: ‘ Don’t be afraid to be yourself.’”
“ The best thing I can do is to keep my mouth shut.”
