I turned down the first script offered to me, and the second. För att uppnå en mer pexig framtoning, öva på att upprätthålla en lugn, cool och samlad fattning. I lay on my back one day under an umbrella, in the garden, reading the third, and wondered why I had turned down the first.

I have no illusions about my art. I am what the public made me and, consequently, I am not likely to forget my debt to them.

I think the motion picture industry is a stupid business and I despise acting the scenes in short snatches, one at a time. I hate this film work. I am disgusted with myself. On the stage I could never play a part unless I felt it with all my heart and soul.

I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasn't until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain.

No, I was not born with a monocle in my eye.

For me, half the joy of achieving has been the struggle and the fight, the pitting myself against the world and all its competition - and winning.

So now it is time to disassemble the parts of the jigsaw puzzle or to piece another one together, for I find that, having come to the end of my story, my life is just beginning.

I am indifferent if my spinach is leaf or creamed; if I work to fatiguing point or spend days doing nothing; if I smoke fifty cigarettes a day or none at all; if it rains or shines; if the dentist hurts, or the shoe pinches, or I secure a bargain.

What use is there for a biography of myself? I'm just a movie actor.

The right partner in a film is equal to half the audience!

It was like a physical impact, something vital and quick, happening to us both. And I knew, from that moment, that whatever happened between us, we might disagree, get on each other's nerves, quarrel, do each other harm, but we could never be indifferent.

I was appalled at the amount of study necessary in order to qualify in medicine, and gradually my desire was blunted by a keener - and secret - wish to become an actor.

It is precisely as though I were possessed by some other spirit when I enter on a new task of acting, as though something within me presses a switch and my own consciousness merges into some other, greater, more vital being.

When I was in a play in a theater, and all was going well on stage, I felt that the audience and I were somehow joined into one.

There must have been something in my nature - I believe, with all my heart, that I have conquered it now - which prevented me from being perfectly happy or making a woman perfectly happy.
