QUOTES:

[on Lauren Bacall] “She’s a real Joe. You’ll fall in love with her like everybody else.”

[attributed last words] “I should never have switched from scotch to martinis.”

[on the House Un-American Activities Committee] “They’ll nail anyone who ever scratched his ass during the National Anthem.”

I came out here with one suit and everybody said I looked like a bum. Twenty years later Marlon Brando came out with only a sweatshirt and the town drooled over him. That shows how much Hollywood has progressed.

A hotdog at the ballpark is better than a steak at the Ritz.

When the heavy, full of crime and bitterness, grabs his wounds and talks about death and taxes in a husky voice, the audience is his and his alone.

[about himself] “Democrat in politics, Episcopalian by upbringing, dissenter by disposition.”

I can’t say I ever loved my mother, I admired her.

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.
