"The cinema world is not easy. it's full of envy from little people - heads of studios, for example, who hate people for their attractiveness." "I haven't aged into a character actor. I'm still an old leading man." "I was a good costume actor, but I shortened my career because I made the wrong choices." "I've never done a film I'm proud of." [on Joan Collins in 1984] "She's common, she can't act - yet she's the hottest female property around these days. If that doesn't tell you something about the state of our industry today, what does?" [on friends] "Damn 'em all except six - and they can be pallbearers. If they stumble, damn them, too." "I don't know which was the greatest disaster: my career or my wives." (quote about the play, "The Circle") "Old Granger's back! But some people are going to be shocked. If they've watched me on an afternoon film looking young and smooth, heaven knows what they'll think when they come to the theatre and see this elder-statesman figure with white hair!"
