I don't think pornography is harmful, but it is terribly, terribly boring.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

There are dark times just arou...

There are dark times just around the corner. There are dark clouds travelling through the sky. And it's no good whining about a silver lining. For we know from experience they won't roll by.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

Thousands of people have talen...

Thousands of people have talent. I might as well congratulate you for having eyes in your head. The one and only thing that counts is: Do you have staying power?

Noel Coward 156 quotes

Your motivation is your pay packet on Friday. Now get on with it.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

The air is like a draught of wine.
The undertaker cleans his sign,
The Hull express goes off the line,
When it's raspberry time in Runcorn.

Familiarity breeds contempt, but without a little familiarity it's impossible to breed anything.

As one gets older, one discovers everything is going to be exactly the same with different hats on.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

You will know you're old when ...

You will know you're old when you cease to be amazed.

Any part of the piggy Is quite all right with me Ham from Westphalia, ham from Parma Ham as lean as the Dalai Lama Ham from Virginia, ham from York, Trotters Sausages, hot roast pork. Crackling crisp for my teeth to grind on Bacon with or without the rind on Though humanitarian I'm not a vegetarian. I'm neither crank nor prude nor prig And though it may sound infra dig Any part of the darling pig Is perfectly fine with me.

How about slipping out of those wet things and into a dry Martini?

Noel Coward 156 quotes

To take a gloomy view of life ...

To take a gloomy view of life is not part of my philosophy; to laugh at the idiocies of my fellow creatures is. However, at this particular moment I cannot find so much to laugh at as I would like.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

How foolish to think that one ...

How foolish to think that one can ever slam the door in the face of age. Much wiser to be polite and gracious and ask him to lunch in advance.

It's such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see,
That though the English are effete
They're quite impervious to heat.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

What I adore is supreme professionalism. I'm bored by writers who can write only when it's raining.

Acting is not a state of being ... but a state of appearing to be.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

Consider the public. Never fear it nor despise it. Coax it, charm it, interest it, stimulate it, shock it now and then if you must, make it laugh, make it cry, but above all never, never, never bore the living hell out of it.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

Of course, the age-old traditi...

Of course, the age-old tradition that a star must appear even if he or she is practically dying is an excellent one, but it can be carried too far. I one played a performance of The Knight of the Burning Pestle with a temperature of 103 and gave sixteen members of the company mumps, thereby closing the play and throwing everybody out of work. There may be a moral lurking somewhere in this, but I cannot for the life of me discover what it is.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

In the first act, you get the ...

In the first act, you get the audience's attention - once you have it, they will repay you in the second. Play through the laughs if you have to. It will only make the audience believe there are so many of them that they missed a few.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

She stopped the show - but then the show wasn't traveling very fast.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

Acting is not a state of being...

Acting is not a state of being ... but a state of appearing to be. You can't be eight times a week without going stark staring mad. You've got to be in control.
