Hollywood is ten million dollars worth of intricate and high ingenious machinery functioning elaborately to put skin on baloney.

I drink to make other people interesting.

There is no legimate actor who can resist the powerful lure of the movies. It isn't the money that fetches him. It isn't the great publicity. It is simply this: the movies enable an actor to look at himself.

An actor without a playwright is like a hole without a doughnut.

I have yet to find a man worth his salt in any direction who did not think of himself first and foremost.
