More quotes by Noel Coward

Noel Coward

Noel Coward

Noel Coward
Why do I drink Champagne for breakfast? Doesn't everyone?
Noel Coward
There isn't a particle of you that I don't know, remember, and want.
Noel Coward
I'll go and see anything so long as it amuses me, or moves me. If it doesn't do either I want to go home.
Noel Coward
Dear 338171 (May I call you 338?)
Noel Coward
You ask my advice about acting? Speak clearly, don't bump into the furniture and if you must have motivation, think of your pay packet on Friday.
Noel Coward
Acting is not a state of being ... but a state of appearing to be.
Noel Coward
