Mr. Hitchcock did not say actors are cattle. He said they should be treated like cattle.

The truth is that it's just really hard for me to get to sleep without a dog in my bedroom. I once had a dog named Beau. He used to sleep in the corner of the bedroom. Some nights, though, he would sneak onto the bed and lie right between Gloria and me. I know that I should have pushed him off the bed, but I didn't. He was up there because he wanted me to pat his head, so that's what I would do.

Having friends around for a pleasant evening is one of life's most cherished joys as far as I am concerned. But when those with me are fellow believers, how much greater that joy is, for we know that it's rekindled, one day in eternity.

Learn from the masters, learn from your contemporaries. Always try to update yourself.

Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners.

You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it, not just develop a bag of tricks.
