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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I love the stage.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

I didn't intend to become an actor.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Having talent is like having blue eyes. You dont admire a man for the colour of his eyes. I admire a man for what he does with his talent.

My grandmother has dementia, and my mother is looking after her as her primary caregiver. Seeing their relationship has had a profound impact, seeing how tough it is for both of them and seeing how the roles change and how my mother has gone from being a daughter to being the mother.

I just wish you knew how much I liked you. But now since you decided to leave I'm done trying. I'm done with you because the last thing I want now is to be with you.

Well, fans always root for the underdog.

To sum up: it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.

Instinct taught me 20 years ago to pace a song or a concert performance. That translates into pacing a story, pleasing a reading audience.

Appetite is essentially insatiable, and where it operates as a criterion of both action and enjoyment (that is, everywhere in the Western world since the sixteenth century) it will infallibly discover congenial agencies (mechanical and political) of expression.

I knew 'Be Our Guest' would be performed on a set and in costume, but anyone with a history in Theatre In Education will know that can mean anything.

Not everybody can say they wore heels in Paris Hilton's closet.

A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That’s where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It’s having backbone.

I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.

On Halloween, don't you know back when you were little, your mom tells you don't eat any candy until she checks it? I used to be so tempted to eat my candy on the way to other people's houses. That used to be such a tease.

Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.

I'm really looking forward to just concentrating on the swimming part now instead of what's going on with me outside the pool.

There are so many different camps about what being gay means. The danger comes when each one is so rigid that it sees itself as the true picture.

I grew up where my parents would literally shove me in the car rather than have to say hello to a neighbor.

I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy.

Each successive period of progress is a period more humane and spiritual. The only logical conclusion is that all is Mind and its manifestation, from the rolling of worlds, in the most subtle ether, to a potato-patch.

Man's wisdom is his best friend; folly his worst enemy.

There's a burgeoning film scene in Romania.

I like everything I do to have some kind of meaning.

It takes a long time to get a film made.

I know we're not going undefeated. I know I'm not going to throw a touchdown every game.
