When you are playing a part like that where you have traveled - you begin to think, God what a great life. Independent, living alone and how dramatic.

I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie. That was the beginning of The Look.

Looking at yourself in a mirror isn't exactly a study of life.

We live in an age of mediocrity. Stars today are not the same stature as Bogie [Humphrey Bogart], James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart [James Stewart].

You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now.

Life is not what you expected it to be.

Remember what Bogie and my mother both used to say: 'Character is the most important thing. All that matters is character!'
