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

I've never sought success in order to get fame and money; it's the talent and the passion that count in success.

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.

One is never too old for romance.

A kiss is a lovely trick to stop speech.

I can do everything with ease on the stage, whereas in real life I feel too big and clumsy. So I didn't choose acting. It chose me.

Just give the Italians a chance for drama and they take it with both hands.
