—Elizabeth Taylor

“Nobody’s going to tell me how to live. I go by the rules of decent behavior. The most important rule to live by is the Golden Rule. I don’t do anything to anybody I wouldn’t want done to me. I drink, but I’m not tough and rough. I don’t brawl outside of movies. I act tough in movies but that’s what I get paid to do. Despite what they say, I don’t go around in restaurants waving guns and picking fights. I live my own life and I do what I want. That’s Bogart.”
—Humphrey Bogart (b. Humphrey DeForest Bogart, New York City, 1899 – 1957)
