Peter Ustinov
If Botticelli were alive today he'd be working for Vogue.
Peter Ustinov
If history teaches us one thing, than that history teaches us nothing.
Peter Ustinov
I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter.
Peter Ustinov
Her virtue was that she said what she thought, her vice that what she thought didn't amount to much.
Peter Ustinov
When I was small, I would refuse to drink when I ate fish because I thought the fish would reconstitute itself in my stomach
Peter Ustinov
Pavarotti is not vain, but conscious of being unique.
