Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners.
James Stewart
You know, people seldom go to the trouble of scratching the surface of things to find the inner truth.

James Stewart
When it came to kissing, Harlow was the best.
James Stewart
Champagne's funny stuff. I'm used to whiskey. Whiskey is a slap on the back, and champagne's a heavy mist before my eyes.
James Stewart
Animals give me more pleasure through the viewfinder of a camera than they ever did in the crosshairs of a gunsight.
James Stewart
I lasted one night. They said my playing spoiled people's appetites.
James Stewart
I'd like to do Harvey again. I did it two years ago with Helen Hayes in New York. It was a joy. I was so glad to do it again because I never thought I did it right the first time.
James Stewart
I don't need other people. I don't need help. I can take care of me.
James Stewart
I have my own rules and adhere to them. The rule is simple but inflexible. A James Stewart picture must have two vital ingredients. It will be clean and it will involve the triumph of the underdog over the bully.
James Stewart
Mr. Hitchcock did not say actors are cattle. He said they should be treated like cattle.
