Quote

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.

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.

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.

Image
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.

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
Image
I don't want a lot of strangers looking down at my wrinkles and my big fat belly when I'm dead.

It's a chain of accidents. When you step into Hollywood, you wind yourself into thousands of chains of accidents. If all of the thousands happen to come out exactly right-and the chance of that figures out to be one in eight million-then you'll be a star.
