You are the only person you can actually change
Few people know what they mean when they say, "I love you." ... Well, what does the word love mean? It means total interest. I think the reason very few people really fall in love with anyone is they're not willing to pay the price. The price is you have to adjust yourself to them.
I've made forty-three pictures. Naturally I'm adorable in all of them.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
You can’t change the music of your soul.
Being an actor is such a humiliating experience because you are selling yourself to the public, your face, your personality, and that is humiliating. As you get older, it becomes more humiliating because you've got less to sell.
If you follow all of the rules, you'll miss all of the fun.
With all the opportunities I had, I could have done more. And if I'd done more, I could have been quite remarkable.
I can remember walking as a child. It was not customary to say you were fatigued. It was customary to complete the goal of the expedition.
I think all good actors are personalities. If they're not, they're not stars. What makes you a star is horsepower.
I don't fear death, it must be like a long sleep.
I wear my sort of clothes to save me the trouble of deciding which clothes to wear.
I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.
You give because you love and cannot help giving.
