I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.

I have been uncompromising, peppery, intractable, monomaniacal, tactless, volatile, and oftentimes disagreeable... I suppose I'm larger than life.

People stood on their chairs, cheering and waving. And it was all for me! Waves of love flooded the stage and washed over me. I started to cry. The sweetness of such a moment is impossible to describe. One is both lover and beloved. ... I'd found the one true, enduring romance of my life.

The out-of-work actor wears out more than shoe leather. The very sensibilities that make him an artist are shattered by the disregard he is shown as a human being.

I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.

One can be respected with the truth in Hollywood just as much as anywhere else you know or else I wouldn't have had a career.
