This is a terrible place to spend your life in. Nobody in Hollywood is normal. Absolutely nobody. And they have such a vicious attitude toward one another. They say much worse things about each other than outsiders say about them, and nobody has any real friends.

I looked it at like this way. To get folks to like you, as a screen player I mean, I figured you had to sort of be their ideal. I don't mean a handsome knight riding a white horse, but a fella who answered the description of a right guy.

There ain't never a horse that never been rode; there ain't never a rider that can't be thrown.

One nice thing about silence is that it can't be repeated.

Until I came along all the leading men were handsome, but luckily they wrote a lot of stories about the fellow next door.

No mistake, I shall regret the absence of your keen mind; unfortunately, it is inseparable from an extremely disturbing body.

In Westerns you were permitted to kiss your horse but never your girl.
