All About Eve
“Funny business, a woman's career, the things you drop on the way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you get back to being a woman.”
"So many people know me, I wish I did. I wish someone would tell me about me."
“There comes a time that a piano realizes that it has not written a concerto.”
“For some reason, you just can’t pick up champagne. Somebody’s got to be witty with a toast.”
“In the last analysis, nothing’s any good unless you can look up just before dinner or turn around in bed and there he is. Without that, you’re not a woman. You’re something with a French provincial offices or a book full of clippings but you’re not a woman.”
“Let the rest of the world beat their brains out for a buck. It’s friends that count and I have friends.”
“The woods are full of one-scene sensations.”
“Nothing is forever in the theater. Whatever it is, it’s here, it flares up, burns hot, and then it’s gone.”
“What I go after only I go after. I don’t want it to come after me.”
“That cynicism you refer to I acquired when I realized I was different than little boys.”
