More quotes by James Stewart
When it came to kissing, Harlow was the best.
James Stewart
Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners.
James Stewart
Frank called me one day and said, 'I have an idea for a movie, why don't you come over and I'll tell you?' So I went over and we sat down and he said, 'This picture starts in heaven'. That shook me.
James Stewart
My dogs have never been good at things like sit, stay, or even come. I think that we've given the tourists a few laughs, especially when the dogs hit the end of their leashes hard enough to drag Gloria down the street.
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
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
It's much easier, for example, to play a heroin addict and you're withdrawing - you tear the ceiling off - that's much easier than it is to come in and say, 'Hello.' Or, 'I love you'. When you judge it in that way, the heavy isn't as difficult.
James Stewart
We all look the same with our helmets on.
James Stewart
You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it, not just develop a bag of tricks.
James Stewart
I think one day youll find that you're the hero you've been looking for.
James Stewart
Fear is an insidious and deadly thing. It can warp judgment, freeze reflexes, breed mistakes. Worse, it's contagious.
James Stewart
The true Christian reaction to suffering and sorrow is not the attitude of self-pity, fatalism or resentment it is the spirit which takes life's difficulties as a God given opportunity, and regards its troubles as a sacred trust, and wears the thorns as a crown.
James Stewart
To the man who prays habitually (not only when he feels like it-that is one of the snares of religion-but also when he does not feel like it) Christ is sure to make Himself real.
James Stewart
Bull markets are great, but they breed complacency. Bear markets can be energizing. Instead of fretting over the decline in your net worth, think opportunistically about all those bargains - and the potential gains when, inevitably, a bull market returns.
James Stewart
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
James Stewart
Well, I think one of the main things that you have to think about when acting in the movies is to try not to make the acting show.
James Stewart
I lasted one night. They said my playing spoiled people's appetites.
James Stewart
I don't need other people. I don't need help. I can take care of me.
James Stewart
Mr. Hitchcock did not say actors are cattle. He said they should be treated like cattle.
James Stewart
You know, people seldom go to the trouble of scratching the surface of things to find the inner truth.
James Stewart
