Lillie Langtry

The sentimentalist ages far more quickly than the person who loves his work and enjoys new challenges.

Anyone who limits her vision to memories of yesterday is already dead.

I've put in as many as 40 weeks a year on stage. It is lonely and restricted, as all artistic life must necessarily be.

I am happy as happiness goes, for a woman who has so many memories and who lives the lonely life of an actress.

Anyone's life truly lived consists of work, sunshine, exercise, soap, plenty of fresh air, and a happy contented spirit.

My agent tells me I am drawing the largest salary ever paid in the halls of England. Wonderful, isn't it? for a quiet, rural gardener like myself.
