I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up... He’s just so damn effortless.
Tom Finney would have been great in any team, in any match and in any age, even if he had been wearing an overcoat.
His acting remains forever fixed in a time that never dates.
You'd have to think that if he'd been around today, Rod Laver would have been Rod Laver.
I think without a doubt there will never be a voice like Judy Garland.
A book is never a masterpiece: it becomes one. Genius is the talent of a dead man.
I have grown up watching Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Dev Anand, Amitabh Bachchan and the likes. These are actors who have changed with time. They have no shelf-life. They have immortalised themselves because they have evolved with time.
The greatest leading man, in my opinion, will always be Cary Grant.
No-one will ever sound as good as Judy Garland as far as I am concerned.
Jimmy Stewart and Lucille Ball were so unique.
Writing is not like dancing or modeling; it's not something where-if you missed it by age 19-you're finished. It's never too late. Your writing will only get better as you get older and wiser. If you write something beautiful and important, and the right person somehow discovers it, they will clear room for you on the bookshelves of the world-at any age. At least try.
Ages are All Equal. / But Genius is Always Above The Age.
I absolutely love Johnny Depp, and I genuinely think he's one of the best actors of our time.
People like Johnny Depp are an exception. He is the current model of what an actor should be. His body of work speaks volumes. He was so under-rated for so long, but he will have longevity - and it is such a gratifying thrill to see he is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is like a hero, to have played different comedic roles. She gets sexier, funnier, and better with time.
I think everyone should aspire to be someone great, and that was one of the greats. Aaliyah was one of the great ones.
Judy Garland was a different type of entertainer. She was a dancer, a singer, and an incurable romantic.
Never mind the transience of show business and popularity. When we hear Ray Charles, we go, 'That's a great singer.' You don't need a reporter or a writer to tell us. Good is good and it should shine through the years.
I really believe great actors, even with disease and age, can be great.
If Mozart were around now he would write a killer rock song.
I think he is marvellous. I think he will fit in whatever category of Cricket that has been played or will be played, from the first ball that has ever been bowled to the last ball that's going to be. He can play in any era and at any level. I would say he's 99.5% perfect.
Whitney Houston is my idol and my mentor and my dream forever, like she will always be my favorite artist, ever, on the planet. Like I don't think I'll ever feel that way about another artist.
I want people to say at the end of my day, you know, like I used to say about Sidney Poitier and James Cagney and Joan Crawford and Red Skelton and those guys and Bill Cosby. They did quality and substance. You always remember them.
