George Hamilton
There are a lot of self important people who make you believe they're artistes and high on the intelligence quotient and I've sat down and listened to them and just been bored.
George Hamilton
When people realize you're not the stuffed shirt they think you are it's such a relief and you have people who really like to be around you.
George Hamilton
I'm not somebody who runs from the press. I'm not coy. I appreciate the press I've had over the years.

The first thing my agent told me in 1959 was he said you have to have something recognizable that people will remember. “What are you? Do you have cleft in your chin? You have a Jimmy Stewart kind of talk?” And I thought I don’t know what I can give them that will be different.

One works in this business - if one works. You do different types of movies.
George Hamilton
John Milius and Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone - those guys are consummate filmmakers. They believe that you don't talk it, you show it. So when I find a role now, I try to find a visual way to tell what the character is about rather than trying to speak about it.
George Hamilton
After I got out of the studio system, I was completely [broke] for the 30th time they said I’d never work again. So I’m going to go and produce those movies that they wouldn’t let me do.

Welcome to the Nou Camp stadium in Barcelona that is packed to capacity... with some patches of seats left empty.
George Hamilton
I went in to play the most corrupt politician I could possibly think of [in The Congressman] and to do it with a certain kind of charm.
George Hamilton
That's a yellow card for Cazoria. So the next time he's involved in Europe, he won't be.
George Hamilton
There's so many characters they [studios] are not letting me play. And I thought, Why don't you just go produce it yourself?.
George Hamilton
There are two schools of thought. A manager would tell you that must make them realize you're a dedicated actor and I took a totally different route than that. I never ever took myself seriously.
George Hamilton
I had a good time doing [The Congressman], and I hope that Treat [Williams] and I plan to go flying in his [private] jet!
George Hamilton
You do a movie [where] you like the script [and] it has something to say that you care about. And there are certain people in this industry that you kind of stick with. Guys like [“The Congressman” producer] Fred Roos. They call you, and if you’re not working, that’s what you do.
