He is one of those rare people who manages to be lugubriously sexy - like a well-hung eel. -- Emma Thompson
Hugh Laurie
The thing you have to realise about Hugh is that he was born prematurely disillusioned. -- Emma Thompson
Hugh Laurie
It’s almost the not-knowing that’s sexy. When the look is too contrived... Trying to assimilate a look to be sexy to me is pretty transparent in the first place. So... somebody who just kind of stumbles into a sexy look... who’s not been thinking about fashion at all...
Marc Jacobs
Mary McCarthy was a rara avis, a rare bird: a truly sexy intellectual who was nonetheless more interested in truth than in being intellectually sexy or fashionable. ... The real beauty of her life and work is that she was an explorer who never compromised her freedom or integrity. Her writing was symptomatic of this. It never quite became an end in itself, but remained, throughout her life, a means to articulating herself as "her own woman." In that she succeeded marvellously and it is the way in which she did it for which she deserves lasting respect and emulation.
Mary McCarthy
Clothes to me aren’t sexy. Like, a dress isn’t sexy. Maybe the girl who wears it is sexy.

Scott was questioning his sister. Sometimes he did it in English. More often he had resource to gibberish and sign language. Emma tried to reply, but the handicap was too great.
Finally Scott got pencil and paper. Emma liked that. Tongue in cheek, she laboriously wrote a message. Scott took the paper, examined it, and scowled.
"That isn't right, Emma," he said.
Emma nodded vigorously. She seized the pencil again and made more scrawls. Scott puzzled for a while, finally smiled rather hesitantly, and got up. He vanished into the hall. Emma returned to the abacus. Paradine rose and glanced down at the paper, with some mad thought that Emma might abruptly have mastered calligraphy. But she hadn't. The paper was covered with meaningless scrawls, of a type familiar to any parent. Paradine pursed his lips.
It might be a graph showing the mental variations of a manic-depressive cockroach, but probably wasn't. Still, it no doubt had meaning to Emma. Perhaps the scribble represented Mr. Bear.
Scott returned, looking pleased. He met Emma's gaze and nodded.Lewis Padgett
