I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

The reason for the sadness of this modern age and the men who live in it is that it looks for the truth in everything and finds it.

Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.

My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn't too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked.

I am often asked which of my films has come closest to my own ideal of performance, and I always answer, 'Educating Rita.'
