Actors' Thoughts

“Animals... don't have a sense of time.”

“When I went blonde for Sin City three years ago, I swear I’ve never had more male attention. I’d go to a bar and all these Arab princes and much older men would want to buy me a drink – I’m talking guys in their eighties!”

Like "Gone With the Wind", [Greta] Garbo is monumentally overrated. Her voice is deep, she has no humor, her figure is flat, her carriage is not graceful, her feet are big, her private life is a fog. Only her face is perfect.
Alfred Hitchcock On Greta Garbo

“Garbo's temperament reflected the rain and gloom of the long dark Swedish winters.”
Lillian Gish On Greta Garbo

“The best mind-altering drug is truth.”
Lily Tomlin
