Noel Coward
Never trust a man with short legs. His brains are too near his bottom.
Noel Coward
There are bad times just around the corner, There are dark clouds travelling through the sky, And it's no good whining, About a silver lining, For we know from experience they won't roll by...
Noel Coward
I can take any amount of criticism, as long as it is unqualified praise.
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
