Noël Coward photographed by Horst P. Horst, 1933

Actor, writer, musician and director Noël Coward — dressed in a dark-coloured, check patterned suit, white shirt and spot-patterned tie — captured facing the camera while seated on a dark-coloured armchair, glancing to the left, his right elbow leaning on the arm of the chair, a lit cigarette in his right hand, which obscures his chin, left hand in his lap, in a medium-length black-and-white studio portrait taken by photographer Horst P. Horst at his studio in Paris

"I can attest that there is something that happened in those years in the '70s that folks, young and old, still hunger for. We were where we needed to be when we needed to be there. It was magical, and I'm sure I'm better because of it."

"There's something to be said for pureness of intent; otherwise, you might as well be somewhere else where nobody is listening."

"I'm very much aware in the writing of dialogue, or even in the narrative too, of a rhythm. There has to be a rhythm with it. Interviewers have said, you like jazz, don't you. Because we can hear it in your writing. And I thought that was a compliment."

Elmore Leonard, born 11 October 1925.

I am not aware of a cadence when writing, but I hear it after I write in longhand, and that helps. You're closer to it and you have to cross things out. You put a line through it, but it's still there. You might need it. When you erase a line in a computer it's gone forever.

Elmore Leonard, #BOTD.

"We're only here for a minute, just little people, small cogs in a big wheel. You're no big deal; so you get up and do your very best. You play to the people - not down to the people."

"People are afraid to expand their intellect. I'm trying to be creative, but I have a very broad scope, a very broad idea of what the possibilities are for this music. The main thing is to be creative, to be innovative."
