“I had to be careful where I went because I was a Jew, because I was young and because I was handsome. It made me wary and erratic and paranoid, which is what I still am. Always on guard.” —Tony Curtis (b. Bernard Schwartz; 1925 – 2010)
“My mother wisely made very sure when I was young that I wouldn’t get big-headed about my looks. She said, “You have nice eyes, but they’re only nice as long as the expression in back of them is nice. And that depends solely on what you are as a person inside. You are not beautiful, but you can be attractive when you’re nice inside.” —Elizabeth Taylor
