QUOTES:
When I think of the most beautiful women, they’re not supermodels.
I’m blessed that I can leave it to the pros at work and red-carpet events, because I can’t say I’m adept. Still, I’m definitely not afraid to take chances when it comes to beauty.
Glamour is fun! Spending time to get ready isn’t about being fussy; it’s about taking care of myself.
I’ve learned there’s nothing wrong with being a little fussy. I used to pride myself on being low-maintenance – I wore it like a badge of honor.

Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor and Nobel Laureate, Died yesterday at 87. Here are his best quotes:
“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.”
“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”
“No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.”
“Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.”
“Peace is our gift to each other.”
“There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win.”
“When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his…

Oscar winning director Michael Cimino died today at the age of 77. Here are his best quotes about life, Hollywood, and directing:
When asked by “People” magazine, Nov. 11, 1996 issue, how the disaster of Heaven’s Gate (1980) affected his life: “It was really a great trauma, as everyone knows. Since then, I’ve been unable to make any movie that I’ve wanted to make. I’ve been making the best of what is available.”
“They’ve been running Deer Hunter like crazy on Bravo. And here is the whole goddamned Congress singing ‘God Bless America’ on the steps of the US Capitol. I said, ‘Holy shit, this is the ending of the movie.'” (on The Deer Hunter (1978) in hindsight, post-9/11, London Independent on Sunday, July 2002)
I don’t make movies intellectually, I don’t make movies to make a point, I make movies to tell stories about people.
Films are home movies…
