More quotes by James Stewart
Mr. Hitchcock did not say actors are cattle. He said they should be treated like cattle.
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
You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it, not just develop a bag of tricks.
James Stewart
I lasted one night. They said my playing spoiled people's appetites.
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
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
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
You must be oh-so smart, or oh-so pleasant. For years I was smart. I recommend pleasant...and you may quote me.
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
Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners.
James Stewart
I think one day youll find that you're the hero you've been looking for.
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
Learn from the masters, learn from your contemporaries. Always try to update yourself.
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
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 always told Hitch that it would have been better to put seats around the set and sell tickets.
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
We all look the same with our helmets on.
James Stewart
When it came to kissing, Harlow was the best.
James Stewart
If a western is a good western, it gives you a sense of that world and some of the qualities those men had - their comradeship, loyalty, and physical courage.
James Stewart
