[On Alfred Hitchcock:] Hitch is a gentleman farmer who raises goose flesh.
In Hollywood, you're never any better than your last picture.
I'm only interested in two kinds of people, those who can entertain me and those who can advance my career.
I do not know how to kiss, or I would kiss you. Where do the noses go?
A kiss is the natures way to stop a conversation, when the words are superfluous
I thank God who slowly dressed me in a heavy skin, otherwise I would now be dead.
I hate Sunday, I can't wait for Monday so I can go back to work again.
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.
I always felt guilty. My whole life.
Never again! I can see no reason for marriage - ever at all. I've had it. Three times is enough.
I don't worry about it because we are all growing old. If I were the only one I would worry. But we're all in the same boat, and all of my friends are coming with me. We all go toward old age. How many years left we don't know. We just have to accept it.
I remember one day sitting at the pool and suddenly the tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why was I so unhappy? I had success. I had security. But it wasn't enough. I was exploding inside.
when one never speaks, one has nothing to say because one has too much to say.
Just give the Italians a chance for drama and they take it with both hands.
