More quotes by Nora Ephron
In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind.
Nora Ephron
Everybody dies. There's nothing you can do about it. Whether you eat six almonds a day. Whether or not you believe in God.
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
American society has a remarkable ability to resist change, or to take whatever change has taken place and attempt to make it go away.
Nora Ephron
My parents were screenwriters, and they had four daughters and we all write. So that's amazing. Talk about powerful parents. My mother always said to us, Everything is copy.
Nora Ephron
Journalists are interesting. They just aren't as interesting as the things they cover.
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
You can blame Al Gore and you can blame Ralph Nader and you can blame George Bush, but I blame Bill [Clinton]. I just do. I just think he squandered his presidency the night that woman delivered that pizza to him, and if he hadn't, we wouldn't be where we are and there would be a lot of people who are alive today who aren't.
Nora Ephron
Some people pretend to like capers, but the truth is that any dish that tastes good with capers in it tastes even better with capers not in it.
Nora Ephron
The odd thing about this form of communication is you're more likely to talk about nothing than something. But I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many... somethings. So, thanks.
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
I look as young as a person can look given how old I am.
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
The divorce has lasted way longer than the marriage, but finally it's over. Enough about that. The point is that for a long time, the fact that I was divorced was the most important thing about me. And now it's not.
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
No man can be friends with a woman he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her. Sex is always out there. Friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Nora Ephron
I am continually fascinated at the difficulty intelligent people have in distinguishing what is controversial from what is merely offensive.
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
Believe me, if I looked good, it's not an accident.
Nora Ephron
The function of a blog is on some level to start a conversation that you're not involved in any more because you've already had your say. That thing of coming right off the news - did you see what I saw this morning, can you believe it? - has a kind of fun appeal.
Nora Ephron
