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
People have only one way to be.
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 makes me feel I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. ... Reading is bliss.
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
Whenever I get married, I start buying Gourmet magazine.
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
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
I don't write a word of the article until I have the lead. It just sets the whole tone - the whole point of view. I know exactly where I'm going as soon as I have the lead.
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
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?
