when one never speaks, one has nothing to say because one has too much to say.

In Paris, when the picture came out [Casablanca] they weren't too pleased with it. They didn't like the political point of view. The picture was taken off immediately and was never sold to television. A while ago it was brought in and opened in five theatres in Paris, as a new movie. They had a big gala opening where I appeared and people were absolutely crazy about it.

Cancer victims who don't accept their fate, who don't learn to live with it, will only destroy what little time they have left.

Thank you for your coffee, seignior. I shall miss that when we leave Casablanca.

I thank God who slowly dressed me in a heavy skin, otherwise I would now be dead.

If you took acting away from me, I'd stop breathing.

I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked, earned money and was independent at 18.
