I just want to go on making movies, and some of them will be completely meaningless, except, of course, to me.

Whenever I get married, I start buying Gourmet magazine.

What will happen to sex after liberation? Frankly, I don't know. It is a great mystery to all of us.

Writing is what I do. It's like breathing to me at a certain point, but if I couldn't write, I do like cooking.

Every 10 years or so, there was a moment when I'd say, even subconsciously, 'Is that all there is?' You've got to find ways to keep it fresh for yourself.

From Nora Ephron

Directing movies is the best job there is, that's all. I can hardly say a word after that. It's just a great job.

From Nora Ephron

You do get to a certain point in life where you have to realistically, I think, understand that the days are getting shorter, and you can't put things off thinking you'll get to them someday. If you really want to do them, you better do them. There are simply too many people getting sick, and sooner or later you will.

From Nora Ephron

I was always proud of being tough-minded, and I think I still am, but in my old age I've got a little softer in the head, and that's all right.

From Nora Ephron

I have been forgetting things for years - at least since I was in my 30s. I know this because I wrote something about it at the time; I have proof. Of course I can't remember exactly where I wrote about it or when, but I could probably hunt it up if I had to.

From Nora Ephron

I think when you get older, things come along that you know are a test in some way of your ability to stay with it. And when e-mail came along, I was just going to fall in love with it. And I did. I can't believe it now - it's like one of those ex-husbands that you think, 'What was I thinking?'
