When I'm an old lady, I'm going to have my pick of the young men. They'll be like, 'She's Miss Mary Jane!' The young boys will think I'm a hot old lady.

Kirsten Dunst

I was always the hero with no vices, reciting practically the same lines to the leading lady. The current crop of movie actors are less handicapped than the old ones. They are more human. The leading men of silent films were Adonises and Apollos. Today the hero can even take a poke at the leading lady. In my time a hero who hit the girl just once would have been out.

I really cannot understand the point of what you're saying. Really,' said Clotilde, looking at her. 'What a very extraordinary person you are. What sort of a woman are you? Why are you talking like this? Who are you?' Miss Marple pulled down the mass of pink wool that encircled her head, a pink wool scarf of the same kind that she had once worn in the West Indies. 'One of my names,' she said, 'is Nemesis.' 'Nemesis? And what does that mean?' 'I think you know,' said Miss Marple. 'You are a very well educated woman. Nemesis is long delayed sometimes, but it comes in the end.

Agatha Christie

Maybe if I prayed to Miss Marple, she’d hook me up with a clue

Everybody is very much alike, really. But fortunately, perhaps, they don't realise it. - Miss Marple

Agatha Christie

One does see so much evil in a village,' murmured Miss Marple in an explanatory voice.

Agatha Christie

Just as you can accept Miss Marple going to tea with the vicar, there's no reason why Long Island can't have a universality to it.

Agatha Christie

Miss Marple believes in justice and has very high standards. There is nothing you could say or do that would shock her.

Joan Hickson

Global new money has houses everywhere, and serious helicopters, it doesn't aspire to the Miss Marple life of St. Mary Mead.

Peter York

My father was a dreamer - my hero. He was a smart, tough guy from Poland, a cutter of lady's handbags, an old socialist-unionist who always considered himself a failure. His big line was: 'Don't end up like me.'

Alan King

I know it’s not the right thing to say to a lady, miss, but you are sweating like a pig!" "My mother always said that horses sweat, men perspire, and ladies merely glow…" "Is that so? Well, miss, you are glowing like a pig!

Terry Pratchett

I don't feel like me unless I have my hair shaved. So even when I'm an old lady, I'm going to have it.

Sinead O'Connor

I just don't like to be called a 'woman' or a 'lady' because I don't feel like either a woman or a lady. I feel like a musician.

Gina Schock

I thought I was the wrong shape: that Miss Marple would be much fluffier than me, much more wearing shawls and things. But I was persuaded, and now, well - I can only do it my way.

Joan Hickson

I miss all of my old friends who have passed away. Sometimes you just don't understand why they were taken so soon. I loved and miss Johnny Cash. I miss my old buddy Johnny Paycheck, who happens to be buried in an area of the cemetery that I bought for my family.
