Elliott Gould

My greatest fear is to be misunderstood.

I was changing a light bulb over Groucho Marx's bed, so I took my shoes off, got on his bed and changed the bulb. When I got off the bed he said: 'That's the best acting you've ever done.'

I find it so easy to get distracted - I try not to do more than one thing at any one time.

My problem was I let myself become known before I knew myself.

There's nothing more arrogant or conceited than youth, and there's nothing other than machinery that can replace youth.
