    Paul West (b. 1930)

    ...I think the Americans are the only people who have good beds. I consider the American bedroom unparalleled for freshness, comfort, and cleanliness. It is worth going all over Europe in order to come home to one’s own bed.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    In Europe an actor is an artist. In Hollywood, if he isn’t working, he’s a bum.
    Anthony Quinn (b. 1915)
