“I can't think of anybody among the greats who isn't constantly looking...” — Sheila Hancock Quote

“I can't think of anybody among the greats who isn't constantly looking at themselves and feeling dissatisfied. You're greedy in this business: always wanting to prove you can do more. I don't ever remember a time when I've said, My God, I've cracked it - this is lovely.”

“Nobody has a completely happy life, unless you're completely imbecilic. Life is mostly pretty awful.”

“I sometimes buy the Daily Mail and hide it in my Guardian.”

“The street I lived on for the first handful of years of my life was lined with modest, lower-middle-class houses with small front yards and cracked driveways - your typical North Jersey neighborhood, with all the odd hidden darkness that that implies.”

“Phoebe Wolkind Ephron cracked wise like Dorothy Parker and looked like Katharine Hepburn.”

“It is a symbol of Irish art. The cracked looking-glass of a servant.”
