01UndatedInspiration comes unawares, from unaccountable sources that have nothing to do with planning or intelligence. Let it cool ever so slightly, and you are left, pen or brush in hand, with no inspiration at all. Gifted people need not, therefore, make a song and dance about being or supposing themselves superior. They simply happened to be born with that fortunate, subconscious equipment of theirs, and the mystery exists independently of intelligence or ambition.Maurice Chevalier / quote ↗
02UndatedIf you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.Maurice Chevalier / quote ↗
03UndatedIt is a matter of artistic instinct. In his own thoughts and feelings and way of doing things an actor is worth nothing or he is worth something. If he is worth something then he will try to be worth something more as is only normal in anyone who wants to get on. I can think of no other way to explain artistic development.Maurice Chevalier / quote ↗
05UndatedMany a man has fallen in love with a girl in a light so dim he would not have chosen a suit by it.Maurice Chevalier / quote ↗
07UndatedYou don't stop laughing because you grow older. You grow older because you stop laughing.Maurice Chevalier / quote ↗
09UndatedIt is always the same: women bedeck themselves with jewels and furs, and men with wit and quotations.Maurice Chevalier / quote ↗
10UndatedThe French are true romantics. They feel the only difference between a man of forty and one of seventy is thirty years of experience.Maurice Chevalier / quote ↗
11UndatedAn artist carries on throughout his life a mysterious, uninterrupted conversation with his public.Maurice Chevalier / quote ↗
