I Gave Up Drinking Once -- It

(on Katharine Hepburn) She Talks At You As Though You Were A Microphone; She Lectured The Hell Out Of Me On Temperance And The Evils Of Drink. She Doesn't Give A Damn How She Looks. I Don't Think She Tries To Be A Character. I Think She Is One.

Such A Lot Of Guns Around Town And So Few Brains!

The Only Way To Find The Best Actor Would Be To Let Everybody Play Hamlet And Let The Best Man Win.

Physically, I’m Not Tough. I May Think Tough. I Would Say I’m Kinda Tough And Calloused Inside. I Could Use A Foot More In Height And Fifty More Pounds And Fifteen Years Off My Age And Then God Help All You Bastards.

I’m Not Good-looking. I Used To Be, But Not Anymore. Not Like Robert Taylor. What I Have Got Is I Have Character In My Face. It’s Taken An Awful Lot Of Late Nights And Drinking To Put It There. When I Go To Work In A Picture, I Say, ‘don’t Take The Lines Out Of My Face. Leave Them There.’
