I have the face of an ageing choirboy and the build of an undernourished featherweight. If you can figure out my success on the screen you're a better man than I.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I know what's good for me. I can't play black or gray. I can't be a villain or anything close to one. I have to play white

It's a funny thing about me. I don't have any interest in food most of the time now, although when I was a kid I was always hungry

I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then

I had only that one picture, Hitler, the Beast of Berlin, in which I had a part big enough to impress anyone. I tried for better roles over and over again

I've always had a great respect for the picture business. It's been good to me
