Have you ever noticed how transparent people are when you really look at them?

I've got to make a new life for myself, I'm out to learn how to enjoy my leisure now that I'm retired. I've been doing things people expected of me always. I want to feel free. I want to sit under a linden tree with nothing more important to worry about than the temperature of the beer, if there is anything more important.

Just because I've stopped working doesn't mean that I've stopped being helpful.

Hell, I ain't paid to make good lines sound good. I'm paid to make bad lines sound good.

If I were you boys, I wouldn't talk or even think about women. It ain't good for your health.

I was certainly a better actor after my five years in Hollywood. I had learned to be natural - never to exaggerate. I found I could act on the stage in just the same way as I had acted in a studio: using my ordinary voice, eliminating gestures, keeping everything extremely simple.
