world vices problem
The problem with this world is, everyone in it is 3 drinks behind.
jobs crazy kids
Rick Blaine: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have Paris, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night. Ilsa Lund: When I said I would never leave you. . . . Rick Blaine: And you never will. But I got a job to do too. Where I'm going you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now . . . here's looking at you kid.
character thinking evil
(on Katharine Hepburn) She talks at you as though you were a microphone; she lectured the hell out of me on temperance and the evils of drink. She doesn't give a damn how she looks. I don't think she tries to be a character. I think she is one.
jesus gun scared
(On Bette Davis) Even when I was carrying a gun, she scared the be-jesus out of me.
sweet acting theatre
Acting is experience with something sweet behind it.
drinking afternoon worst
I gave up drinking once -- it was the worst afternoon of my entire life.
zero circles dollars
What's at the end of a million dollars? Zero, zero, zero... nothing. A circle with a hole in it.
life baseball dog
A hot dog at the game beats roast beef at the Ritz.
brother bridges golden
(on Warner Brothers) This studio has more suspensions than the Golden Gate Bridge.
men creative stuff
It is at least worth arguing that there is a modicum of the creative novelist in all of us, and that this absorption with how men get out of difficulties, single-handedly and alone if possible, is the stuff of which we weave the warp and woof of our own better dramatic imaginings.
bridges actors gas-stations
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.
taken drinking character
I’m not good-looking. I used to be, but not anymore. Not like Robert Taylor. What I have got is I have character in my face. It’s taken an awful lot of late nights and drinking to put it there. When I go to work in a picture, I say, ‘Don’t take the lines out of my face. Leave them there.’
excellence performances
All you owe the public is a good performance.
thinking years feet
Physically, I’m not tough. I may think tough. I would say I’m kinda tough and calloused inside. I could use a foot more in height and fifty more pounds and fifteen years off my age and then God help all you bastards.
