More quotes by Humphrey Bogart
(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.
Humphrey Bogart
There are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.
Humphrey Bogart
Major Strasser: You give him (Rick Blaine) credit for too much cleverness. My impression was that he's just another blundering American. Captain Renault: We musn't underestimate American blundering. I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1918.
Humphrey Bogart
I made more lousy pictures than any actor in history.
Humphrey Bogart
the problems of three little people in a big world don't add up to much
Humphrey Bogart
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.
Humphrey Bogart
Errol Flynn and I are the only ones left who do any good old hell raising.
Humphrey Bogart
You're not a star until they can spell your name in Karachi.
Humphrey Bogart
There never seems to be any trouble brewing around a bar until a woman puts that high heel over the brass rail. Don't ask me why, but somehow women at bars seem to create trouble among men.
Humphrey Bogart
I always cry at weddings, especially my own.
Humphrey Bogart
[On the House Un-American Activities Committee] They'll nail anyone who ever scratched his ass during the National Anthem.
Humphrey Bogart
A hot dog at the game beats roast beef at the Ritz.
Humphrey Bogart
(On Ingrid Bergman) I didn't do anything I've never done before, but when the camera moves in on that Bergman face, and she's saying she loves you, it would make anybody feel romantic.
Humphrey Bogart
I don't approve of the John Waynes and the Gary Coopers saying Shucks, I ain't no actor - I'm just a bridge builder or a gas station attendant. If they aren't actors, what the hell are they getting paid for? I have respect for my profession. I worked hard at it.
Humphrey Bogart
What's at the end of a million dollars? Zero, zero, zero... nothing. A circle with a hole in it.
Humphrey Bogart
It is at least worth arguing that there is a modicum of the creative novelist in all of us, and that this absorption with how men get out of difficulties, single-handedly and alone if possible, is the stuff of which we weave the warp and woof of our own better dramatic imaginings.
Humphrey Bogart
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.’
Humphrey Bogart
Unless you really understand the water, and understand the reason for being on it, and understand the love of sailing and the feeling of quietness and solitude, you don't really belong on a boat anyway. I think Hemingway said one time that the sea is the last free place on earth.
Humphrey Bogart
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Humphrey Bogart
Capt. Renault: What on Earth brought you to Casablanca? Rick Blaine: My health, I came to Casablanca for the waters. Capt. Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert! Rick Blaine: I was misinformed.
