Happy Birthday James Stewart!

We had an apartment on west side of Central Park. The rent was very reasonable. We found out later that it belonged to a gangster called Legs Diamond and it was a front to his headquarters. It was fine.

Ich glaube fest daran, daß man keinen Helden ohne Demut spielen kann. Arroganz ist den Schurken vorbehalten.

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.

Champagner ist ein lustiges Getränk. Ich bin an Whisky gewöhnt. Whisky ist wie ein Schlag auf den Rücken, während Champagner wie kräftiger Nebel vor den Augen ist.

Im Zeitalter des Fernsehens kann ein guter Coiffeur einen Wahlkampf entscheiden.

I was going to be an architect. I graduated with a degree in architecture and I had a scholarship to go back to Princeton and get my Masters in architecture. I'd done theatricals in college, but I'd done them because it was fun.

If I had my career over again? Maybe I'd say to myself, speed it up a little.

When it came to kissing, Harlow was the best.

I'd like to do Harvey again. I did it two years ago with Helen Hayes in New York. It was a joy. I was so glad to do it again because I never thought I did it right the first time.

I always told Hitch that it would have been better to put seats around the set and sell tickets.

I lasted one night. They said my playing spoiled people's appetites.

I sort of got into Westerns... It was a sort of desperation move, really. I had several pictures that didn't go very well, and I just realised that I would have to try something else.
