“I have no badfeelings about actors getting $20 million a picture or more. They won't give you a dime in this town unless you can make them a dollar. No producer is going to give anybody $20 million if he doesn't think he's going to make much more.”
Rod Steiger

“If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I am certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.”
Liz Taylor

“Whenever a critic mentions the salary of an actor, I'm thinking, He's not talking about the movie.”
Harold Ramis

“Why the hell don't they hire some of the old ones? All those bastards at the studios are trying to do is find fifty-dollar-a-week Gables, Coopers, and Bogarts.”

Humphrey Bogart

“If it's a good script I'll do it. And if it's a bad script, and they pay me enough, I'll do it.”
George Burns
