Elaine May(I)

Partnered with Mike Nichols for a number of years until their less-than-amicable split. They made up years later and wrote the movie A Gaiola das Loucas (1996).

What is important in life and art? You know, when I was very young, I thought it didn't matter what happened to me when I died so long as my work was immortal. As I age, I think, Well, perhaps if I had to trade dying right now and being immortal was just living on, I would choose living on.
