I`ve found that the majority of my work is just a series of grunting, groaning and straining noises. Because, you know, Superman is forever getting clobbered with force fields, nuclear weapons, trains -- whatever large, blunt, heavy objects are at hand to clobber him. I have to dig deep for those special noises.

- Dashiell HammettI had an eye job in my early forties. Someone took a photograph of me in a play, after I`d lost a lot of weight, and I did look like Miss Havisham. I thought: "I have to do something - I`m too young to look like this." So I went and had an eyelift once the play was finished, and the doctor said that it would last only about eight years. I imagined after that it would all cave in with a terrible groaning sound, like scaffolding, but it didn`t, and I haven`t had anything done since. I look at women who are my age who look absolutely ravishing and I know they have had something done. Well, why not?
