More quotes by Nora Ephron
Lesbianism has always seemed to me an extremely inventive response to a shortage of men, but otherwise not worth the trouble.
Nora Ephron
And don't be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I've had four careers and three husbands.
Nora Ephron
Marriages come and go, but divorce is forever.
Nora Ephron
What failure ofimagination had caused me to forget that life was full of other possiblities, including the possibility that eventually I would fall in love again?
Nora Ephron
Every so often I would look at my women friends who were happily married and didn't cook, and I would always find myself wondering how they did it. Would anyone love me if I couldn't cook? I always thought cooking was part of the package: Step right up, it's Rachel Samstat, she's bright, she's funny and she can cook!
Nora Ephron
No one is more romantic than a cynic. I do think that you don't become cynical or 'unsentimental' unless there's a core of romanticism or sentiment that's had a few chips nicked into it.
Nora Ephron
in a socialist country you can get rich by providing necessities, while in a capitalist country you can get rich by providing luxuries.
Nora Ephron
If there is a Nora Ephron signature anything it is that there's slightly too much food. I have a friend whose mantra is: You must choose. And I believe the exact opposite: I think you should always have at least four desserts that are kind of fighting with each other.
Nora Ephron
I don't care who you are. When you sit down to write the first page of your screenplay, in your head, you're also writing your Oscar acceptance speech.
Nora Ephron
Summer bachelors, like summer breezes, are never as cool as they pretend to be.
Nora Ephron
I have made a lot of mistakes falling in love, and regretted most of them, but never the potatoes that went with them.
Nora Ephron
Women are being considered as candidates for vice-president of the United States because it is the worst job in America. It's amazing that men will take it. A job with real power is first lady. I'd be willing to run for that. As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Nora Ephron
If you're looking for monogamy, you'd better marry a swan.
Nora Ephron
You're born, you die. Everything in between is subject to interpretation.
Nora Ephron
You don't really have to believe what you write in a blog for more than the moment when you're writing it. You don't bring the same solemnity that you would bring to an actual essay.
Nora Ephron
One of the great things about movies is that it's just that short period of time. It's a bubble. The last thing you want to know is that Elizabeth and Darcy had a fight over how to treat the servants!
Nora Ephron
The hardest thing about writing is writing.
Nora Ephron
I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.
Nora Ephron
[On George W. Bush:] How is it possible that the president is off on vacation and the vice president is, too? Not that it matters that much if the president is on vacation on some level, the president is always on vacation.
Nora Ephron
I have for many years been puzzled by the persistence of Hugh Hefner. Why is he still here?
