"They can't censor the gleam in my eye." "I have a face like the behind of an elephant." "It's got so that every time I walk into a restaurant I get not only soup but an impersonation of Captain Bligh." "Hollywood is a goofy place. But I like it. It's the perfect mummers' home.

Bob would make the best Macbeth of any actor living." "Method actors give you a photograph. Real actors give you an oil painting." "I have a face that would stop a sundial."
