Margo Quotes

(2005 Academy Awards acceptance speech for Best Director) Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I`d like to thank my wife, who is my best pal down here. And my mother, who was here with me in 1993. She was only 84 then. But she`s here with me again tonight. And she just -- so, at 96, I`m thanking her for her genes. It was a wonderful adventure. It takes a -- to make a picture in 37 days, it takes a well-oiled machine. And that well-oiled machine is the crew -- the cast, of course, you`ve met a lot of them. But there`s still Margo and Anthony and Michael and Mike and Jay and everybody else who was so fabulous in this cast. And the crew, Campanelli. Billy Coe and, of course, Tom Stern, who is fantastic. And Henry Bumstead, the great Henry Bumstead who is the head of our crack geriatrics team. And Henry and Jack Taylor, and Dick Goddard (Richard C. Goddard), all those guys. Walt and everybody. I can`t think of everybody right now. I`m drawing a blank right now. But, Warren, you were right. And thank you, for your confidence earlier in the evening. I`m just lucky to be here. Lucky to be still working. And I watched Sidney Lumet, who is 80, and I figure, "I`m just a kid. I`ll just -- I`ve got a lot of stuff to do yet." So thank you all very much. Appreciate it.

(On her character in All About Eve (1950)): "Margo Channing was not a bitch. She was an actress who was getting older and was not too happy about it. And why should she? Anyone who says that life begins at 40 is full of it. As people get older their bodies begin to decay. They get sick. They forget things. What`s good about that?"

Margo is nothing short of an icon in the graphic design industry. She is high energy, positive, unpretentious, open minded and always on. Our clients benefit from her creative intelligence every day. She is great to work with.

The funny thing is, ... Colleen, Margo and I all sat together. You could see us on the tape, right there in the bottom-right corner. Every time I watch it, I see us there together.
