Noel Coward
Comedies of manners swiftly become obsolete when there are no longer any manners.
Noel Coward
My life really has been one long extravaganza.
Noel Coward
Hollywood is a place where some people lie on the beach and look up at the stars, whereas other people lie on the stars and look down at the beach.
Noel Coward
