I don't approve of the John Waynes and the Gary Coopers saying "Shucks, I ain't no actor - I'm just a bridge builder or a gas station attendant." If they aren't actors, what the hell are they getting paid for? I have respect for my profession. I worked hard at it.
Humphrey BogartIโm not good-looking. I used to be, but not anymore. Not like Robert Taylor. What I have got is I have character in my face. Itโs taken an awful lot of late nights and drinking to put it there. When I go to work in a picture, I say, โDonโt take the lines out of my face. Leave them there.โ
