Quote

To open his lips is crime in a plain citizen.

We don't kiss in public. It's not done.

I have always noticed that in portraits of really great writers the mouth is always firmly closed.

When your life changes and you become a more public person, in some ways you need to be a more closed person, you know?

I hate to spoil my own prospects, but I really don't respect the kiss-and-tell approach to public life at all, not at all.

I never had a career before I had the lips, so my lips have had their own career!

Some people approach every problem with an open mouth.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.
