Robert Mitchum
“Sure I was glad to see John Wayne win the Oscar … I'm always glad to see the fat lady win the Cadillac on TV, too.”
Joan Bennett
“I’m aware of the priceless privilege of having been born into the theater. Although it was a career I rejected at first, the profession has given me an incredibly varied life and more than my fair share of success, failure, love, laughter and despair. I’ve not a single regret for any of it.”
Barbara Stanwyck
“During Double Indemnity, Fred MacMurray would go to rushes. I remember asking Fred, "How was I?" [Fred's response was] "I don't know about you, but I was wonderful!" Such a true remark. Actors only look at themselves.”
Dana Andrews
“I’m Dana Andrews, and I’m an alcoholic. I don’t drink anymore, but I used to - all the time.”
Ryûichi Sakamoto
“I often compose music to moving images. I have made several film soundtracks, or, even if the visuals are not that specific, I often have visuals in mind, whether as a landscape I recall, or by looking at pictures, or imagining purely abstract plays of light.”
James Mason
“I'm a character actor: the public never knows what it's getting by way of a Mason performance from one film to the next. I therefore represent a thoroughly insecure investment.”
Gregory Peck
“They say the bad guys are more interesting to play but there is more to it than that – playing the good guys is more challenging because it’s harder to make them interesting. ”
Lauren Bacall
“Generally women are better than men - they have more character. I prefer men for some things, obviously, but women have a greater sense of honor and are more willing to take a chance with their lives.”
Gary Cooper
“You’ve got to have a fire under you, and when you’re beginning, you’ve got one all the time. After you get established, you have to create your own fire, and it’s never easy.”
Anthony Perkins
“I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding from the people I have met in this great adventure in the world of AIDS than I ever did in the cutthroat, competitive world in which I spent my life.”
Flannery O’Connor
“Everywhere I go, I’m asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don’t stifle enough of them. There’s many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.”
John Alton
“There is no doubt in my mind that the most beautiful music is sad, and the most beautiful photography is in a low-key, with rich blacks.”
Carey Mulligan
“My generation tends to play it cool these days. But there is no room for cool. You have got to be irritating and desperate, and if you are not it is terribly boring.”
