More quotes by Nora Ephron
[Wellesley College] is about as meaningful to the educational process in America as a perfume factory is to the national economy.
Nora Ephron
I always say that a successful parent is one who raises a child so that they can pay for their own psychoanalysis.
Nora Ephron
Too few journalists become screenwriters. I say to all the would-be screenwriters: Become journalists. And I’ll say to working journalists: Do not stay journalists. Become screenwriters.
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
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

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
Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up.
Nora Ephron
You can settle for reality, or you can go off, like a fool, and dream another dream.
Nora Ephron
If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.
Nora Ephron
My closet is full of sad little scripts that didn't get made that have sad endings. It's very hard to get a movie made that has a sad ending.
Nora Ephron
It's always a shock to the people who run studios when a movie that is for women is a hit. They have an infinite capacity to be shocked.
Nora Ephron
It had better be quirky or perverse or thoughtful enough so that you hit some chord in them. I mean we've all read pieces where we thought, 'Oh, who gives a damn.'
Nora Ephron
Look at the parts the Oscar-nominated actresses played this year: hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, and nun.
Nora Ephron
One of the few advantages to not being beautiful is that one usually gets better-looking as one gets older. I am, in fact, at this very moment gaining my looks.
Nora Ephron
I have for many years been puzzled by the persistence of Hugh Hefner. Why is he still here?
Nora Ephron
Believe me, if I looked good, it's not an accident.
Nora Ephron
That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.
Nora Ephron
In the way that women forget the pain of childbirth, men forget that they cry in movies.
Nora Ephron
