I always told Hitch that it would have been better to put seats around the set and sell tickets.

Well, I think one of the main things that you have to think about when acting in the movies is to try not to make the acting show.

Animals give me more pleasure through the viewfinder of a camera than they ever did in the crosshairs of a gunsight.

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.

To the man who prays habitually (not only when he feels like it-that is one of the snares of religion-but also when he does not feel like it) Christ is sure to make Himself real.

The great thing about the movies ... is-you're giving people little ... tiny pieces of time ... that they never forget.

I sort of got into Westerns... It was a sort of desperation move, really. I had several pictures that didn't go very well, and I just realised that I would have to try something else.
