Karen Richards:
Where were we going that night, Lloyd and I? Funny, the things you remember and the things you don't.

Margo Channing:
Margo Channing is ageless - spoken like a press agent.
Lloyd Richards: I know what I'm talking about. After all, they're my plays. Margo Channing: Spoken like an author. Lloyd, I'm not twenty-ish, I'm not thirty-ish. Three months ago I was forty years old. Forty. Four O. That slipped out. I hadn't quite made up my mind to admit it. Now I suddenly feel as if I've taken all my clothes off.

Margo Channing:
She thinks only of me, doesn't she?
Birdie: Well, let's say she thinks only about you, anyway. Margo Channing: How do you mean that? Birdie: I'll tell you how: like... like she's studying you, like you was a play or a book or a set of blueprints - how you walk, talk, eat, think, sleep... Margo Channing: I'm sure that's very flattering, Birdie. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it.

Margo Channing:
So many people know me. I wish I did. I wish someone would tell me about me.
Karen Richards: You're Margo, just Margo. Margo Channing: And what is that, besides something spelled out in light bulbs, I mean - besides something called a temperament, which consists mostly of swooping about on a broomstick and screaming at the top of my voice? Infants behave the way I do, you know. They carry on and misbehave - they'd get drunk if they knew how - when they can't have what they want, when they feel unwanted or insecure or unloved.

You're not much of a bargain, you know. You're conceited and thoughtless and messy.

Addison DeWitt:
Is it possible, is it even conceivable, that you've confused me with that gang of backward children you play tricks on?

We all come into this world with our little egos equipped with individual horns. If we don't blow them, who else will?

Addison DeWitt:
We all have abnormalities in common. We're a breed apart from the rest of humanity, we theatre folk. We are the original displaced personalities.
