I don't want any description of me to be accurate; I want it to be flattering. I don't think people who have to sing for their supper ever like to be described truthfully - not in print anyway. We need to sell tickets, so we need good reviews.

I think I made essential a mistake in staying in movies, because I - but it's a mistake I can't regret, because it's like saying, 'I shouldn't have stayed married to that woman, but I did because I love her.'

Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.

Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else.

When you are down and out something always turns up - and it is usually the noses of your friends.

The classy gangster is a Hollywood invention.

Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
