“Mike [Nichols] said:
Directing a movie is like sex. you never see anyone else doing it, so you're not sure you're doing it right... After the press screening of Murmurs of the Heart, Louis's mom said, "Louis, it brings back such memories!"...”
― Candice Bergen, A Fine Romance

“Romance at short notice was her specialty.”
― Saki, The Open Window and Other Short Stories

“Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.”
― Homer, The Iliad

“I never understand when people say, 'Do you do comedy or tragedy?' I don't think they're very much different. They both have to be true, and there isn't a great play in the world that doesn't have funny parts to it - as 'Salesman' does, as 'King Lear' does. The whole idea is to reflect life in some way, which means surely you have to have both.”
― Mike Nichols
