To have a liberal temperament is a kind of psychological boon, To be able to understand that someone you disagree with is not just a terrible creature but somebody with whom you disagree
Peter Gay
Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of character. Then behind both, the influence of family the tyranny of culture; and finally the power of climate and environment; and we are free, only to the extent we rise above these.
John Burroughs
Temperament is the primary requisite for the critic - a temperament exquisitely susceptible to beauty, and to the various impressions that beauty gives us.

If I wasn`t an actor, I think I`d have gone mad. You have to have extra voltage, some extra temperament to reach certain heights. Art is a little bit larger than life - it`s an exhalation of life and I think you probably need a little touch of madness.

Maybe I just didn`t have the temperament for stardom. I`ll never forget seeing Bette Davis at the Hilton in Madrid. I went up to her and said, "Miss Davis, I`m Ava Gardner and I`m a great fan of yours." And do you know, she behaved exactly as I wanted her...

Ivor Novello
I think the diva is kind of a cliche. My definition of a diva is somebody whose talent does not match what they`re trying to play, so all this temperament comes out.
Glenn Close
I like cats. I used to have a lot of cats, but I don`t anymore, now I just have a dog. It does take a certain temperament to have a cat, as they do have certain personalities.
Jennifer Hewitt
I had now arrived at my seventeenth year, and had attained my full height, a fraction over six feet. I was well endowed with youthful energy, and was of an extremely sanguine temperament.
