Having to read a footnote resembles having to go downstairs to answer the door while in the midst of making love.
[About Oscar Wilde] It is extraordinary indeed that such a posing, artificial old queen should have written one of the greatest comedies in the English language!
[To Peter O'Toole] If you'd been any prettier, it would have been "Florence of Arabia".
Comedies of manners swiftly become obsolete when there are no longer any manners.
Everybody worships me, it's nauseating.
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is
Don't put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington.
I never care who scored the goal, or which side won the silver cup--I never learned to bat or bowl--But I heard the curtain going up.
[asked what he thought about his Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965) co-star Keir Dullea] Keir today, gone tomorrow.
Wit is like caviar - it should be served in small portions and not spread about like marmalade.
Certain women should be struck regularly, like gongs.
[In a telegram to Gertrude Lawrence upon her marriage to Richard Aldrich] Dear Mrs. A: Hooray! Hooray! You finally are de-flowered. I love you now and every day. Sincerely, Noel Coward.
[His last words] Good night my darlings. I'll see you in the morning.
I don't much care for Hollywood, I'd rather have a nice cup of cocoa.
My life really has been one long extravaganza.
The day when I shall begin to worry is when the critics declare: 'This is NoÃ«l Coward's greatest play.' But I know they bloody well won't.
I can accept anything in the theatre provided it amuses me or moves me. But if it does neither, I want to go home.

[on A.E. Matthews] He bumbled through the play like a charming retriever who has buried a bone and can't quite remember where.
[talking about the diaeresis (two dots) over the "e" in his first name] I didn't put the dots over the "e" in NoÃ«l. The language did. Otherwise it's not NoÃ«l but Nool!

[on the Duke of Windsor's abdication to in order to marry a divorced woman] A statue should be erected to Mrs. Simpson in every town in England for the blessing she has bestowed upon the country.
[In 1940, on coping with air raids] When the warning sounds I gather up some pillows, a pack of cards and a bottle of gin, tuck myself beneath the stairs and do very nicely with the consolations of a drink and solitaire until "all clear" sounds.
I have a slight reforming urge, but have rather cunningly kept it down.
I was a brazen, odious little prodigy, over-pleased with myself and precocious to a degree. I was a talented boy, God knows, and when washed and smarmed down a bit, passably attractive.
The world has treated me very well. But then I haven't treated it so badly, either.
I behaved through most of the [Second World] war with gallantry tinged, I suspect, by a strong urge to show off.
