Mel Gibson

"I'll always continue to work. I've never much depended on anyone but myself."

"It's all happening too fast. I've got to put the brakes on or I'll smack into something."

"I love women, they're the best thing ever created. If they want to be like men and come down to our level, that's fine."

"You can't live up to what people expect. Nobody can. But I guess that's my problem, not theirs."

"My biggest weakness is that I'm excessive. Fortunately for everyone concerned, I'm not as excessive as I used to be."

"I'd like to be able to wake up early every morning, but I don't. I'd like to quit smoking. I'd like to never lose my temper. The list goes on and on."

"I don't make things complicated, that's the way they get all by themselves."

"Obviously, nobody wants to touch something filmed in two dead languages. They think I'm crazy, and maybe I am. But maybe I'm a genius."

"I am politically incorrect, that's true. Political correctness to me is just intellectual terrorism. I find that really scary, and I won't be intimidated into changing my mind. Everyone isn't going to love you all the time."

"I did a lot of crazy things, so I'm surprised to be alive."

"I'm not a done deal. I'm a work in progress. I'm still extremely flawed."

Mae West

"I used to be Snow White, but I drifted."

"When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better."

"A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up."

"Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often."

"Too much of a good thing can be wonderful."

"It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it."

"When women go wrong, men go right after them."

"I speak two languages. Body and English."

"Men are easy to get but hard to keep."

"Personally I like two types of men. Domestic and foreign."

"Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly."

"Women like a man with a past, but they prefer a man with a present."

"It's not the men in your life that matters, it's the life in your men."

"I don't like myself, I'm crazy about myself."
