looks helmet
We all look the same with our helmets on.
animal rights should
I have developed a deep respect for animals. I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans.
actors said should
Mr. Hitchcock did not say actors are cattle. He said they should be treated like cattle.
love-you play judging
It's much easier, for example, to play a heroin addict and you're withdrawing - you tear the ceiling off - that's much easier than it is to come in and say, 'Hello.' Or, 'I love you'. When you judge it in that way, the heavy isn't as difficult.
acting done wells
It’s well done if you can do a part and not have the acting show.
health age patches
After age 70, it's patch, patch, patch.
movie people giving
The great thing about the movies ... is-you're giving people little ... tiny pieces of time ... that they never forget.
friendship dog lying
The truth is that it's just really hard for me to get to sleep without a dog in my bedroom. I once had a dog named Beau. He used to sleep in the corner of the bedroom. Some nights, though, he would sneak onto the bed and lie right between Gloria and me. I know that I should have pushed him off the bed, but I didn't. He was up there because he wanted me to pat his head, so that's what I would do.
evil joy suffering
The problem of evil is raised more often by spectators of life than the actual combatants. You will hardly ever find that the great sufferers are the great skeptics.
real men doe
To the man who prays habitually (not only when he feels like it-that is one of the snares of religion-but also when he does not feel like it) Christ is sure to make Himself real.
people trouble surface
You know, people seldom go to the trouble of scratching the surface of things to find the inner truth.
ideas heaven one-day
Frank called me one day and said, 'I have an idea for a movie, why don't you come over and I'll tell you?' So I went over and we sat down and he said, 'This picture starts in heaven'. That shook me.
eye scotch-whisky stuff
Champagne's funny stuff. I'm used to whiskey. Whiskey is a slap on the back, and champagne's a heavy mist before my eyes.
night people spoiled
I lasted one night. They said my playing spoiled people's appetites.
