Happy Birthday Anthony Quinn!

I have lived in a flurry of images, but I will go out in a freeze frame.

Auch mit sechzig kann man noch vierzig sein - aber nur noch eine halbe Stunde am Tag.

On the stage, you have to find truth, even if you have to lose the audience.

Alt ist man dann, wenn man Versuchungen leicht widersteht.

I mean, a Mexican boy couldn't be anything else but an Indian. And why did you take the name of Quinn, they used to say to me. Hey, you're an Indian, so I played Indians.

Die Frauen sind klüger als die Männer, weil sie weniger wissen und mehr verstehen.

I mean, you know, actors lives - you're forgotten. Look at Barrymore, and look at all the great actors. They're forgotten after awhile.

Ein Kind zu zeugen ist der größte und schönste schöpferische Akt, den ein Mann vollbringen kann.

Thirteen, 13 children, and I love - I love them all. And I think I've been a good father to all of them.

Ein Star ist ein Mensch, den jeder kennt - ausgenommen seine Familie.

I studied all about Gauguin. He was a banker. He was a banker who - he used to paint on Sundays. And one day he hated himself for painting on Sundays.

Gerade die feurigsten Frauen kann man mit Worten noch besser streicheln als mit den Händen.

In Europe an actor is an artist. In Hollywood, if he isn't working, he's a bum.

Ich sehe sehr wenig Männer heutzutage. Ich sehe zwar 'ne Menge Jungs mit schmalen Taillen, die im Fernsehen rumschwirren, aber wenig Männer.

And I loved Frank Lloyd Wright. I think he was the greatest man I have ever met in my life.

Italienisch ist ja eigentlich eine Gebärdensprache, deren Verständnis durch Worte nur erschwert wird.

I didn't intend to become an actor.

Ich habe gar nichts gegen Gruppensex, wenn die Gruppe aus zwei Menschen besteht.

I lost my father was I 10 years old, and I always looked for a father. I missed my father very much.

Jeder Mann muß einen Dämon in sich haben, um in der Liebe und im Beruf erfolgreich zu sein.

I never get the girl. I wind up with a country instead.

No parent is there forever. So I won't be here forever with these kids.

Well, I mean, bread, I mean, I've got to have bread too to live.

I have a son in Barcelona whom I am madly in love with.

I liked sculpting better than painting. You have more freedom in sculpting.

I never satisfied that kid but I think he and I have made a deal now.

Bob Taylor and I playing brothers. And I was a Mexican bandit. And he was the sheriff of the town. And we loved each other. We loved each other very much.

The painter leaves his mark. And I just put in two statues in Rhode Island that I'm working on. And I think that's going to make me last longer than me.

Well, I mean, you have an emotion, you want to express it. You don't just look in the camera and do it. You want to hide from the embarrassment of your brother saying you're not allowed to come into my town.

Oh, the Irish were building the railroads down through Mexico, through Chihuahua. They finished the railroads when they finished out in the West Coast, and they went down and put the trains into Mexico.

I love the stage.

Well, I called him and I said, Mr. Wright, what can I do? Universal offered me a contract $300 a week. He says take it. You'll never get that money from me.

And I had known Peter O'Toole before in London. And I'd liked him very much. And the thought of being in a picture with him was very challenging to me. And he was playing the starring role.

First of all, I only get 50 percent of it, because, I mean, the galleries get 50 and 60 percent. I mean, that's normal. I understand that. I don't quarrel with that.

Now, Marlon and I - for some reason, even today - even today, we can't say two words to each other. We really can't talk to each other. You know, I say to him - Marlon can't talk. I mean, he'd talk to you. But he can't talk.
