More quotes by Clark Gable
When the public doesn't want me any longer, I'll quit.
Clark Gable
When it's over it's over. No questions, no tears, no farewell kisses.
Clark Gable
I'm no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me.
Clark Gable
I don't want a lot of strangers looking down at my wrinkles and my big fat belly when I'm dead.
Clark Gable
Clark Gable was the only real he-man I've ever known, of all the actors I've met.
Clark Gable
Disagreeing with the fervent patriotism of the Confederates: I think it's hard winning a war with words, gentlemen. . . . I'm saying very plainly that the Yankees are better equipped than we. . . . All we've got is cotton and slaves, and arrogance. I seem to be spoiling everybody's brandy and cigars and dreams of victory.
Clark Gable
I'm just a lucky slob from Ohio who happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Clark Gable
They see me as an ordinary guy, like a construction worker or the guy who delivers your piano.
Clark Gable
I am intrigued by glamorous women ... A vain woman is continually taking out a compact to repair her makeup. A glamorous woman knows she doesn't need to.
Clark Gable
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great - and they know I know it.
Clark Gable
Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dying's as natural as living. The man who's too afraid to die is too afraid to live.
Clark Gable
Types really don't matter. I have been accused of preferring blondes. But I have known some mighty attractive redheads, brunettes, and yes, women with grey hair. Age, height, weight haven't anything to do with glamour.
Clark Gable
Only interested in himself and profiting from the war as an unscrupulous entrepreneur, and not in being a patriot: I believe in Rhett Butler. He's the only cause I know. The rest doesn't mean much to me.
Clark Gable
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Clark Gable
The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence.
Clark Gable
I don't discuss women at all with anyone. There are good qualities in all women. Some may be lacking in some of these qualities and should have them. I'm liable to say so and hurt their feelings, and it wouldn't be meant that way at all.
Clark Gable
This power that I'm supposed to have over women was never noticed when I was a stage actor on Broadway. I don't know when I got it. And by God, I can't explain it.
Clark Gable
Method actors are like hams.
Clark Gable
Every picture I make, every experience of my private life, every lesson I learn are the keys to my future. And I have faith in it.
Clark Gable
The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds... And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it.
Clark Gable
