We're absolutely stupid to be embarked in a business where our face is connected with our accomplishments. When you get it from morning to night, it's no longer wonderful. No dear public ever did anything for me, and a few people in our industry have the courage to say, "Oh, my dear public, I'd kick 'em if I could".

Cary Grant

“I was twenty-one and Platoon had just won Best Picture and grossed $100 million. Suddenly you're not paying for meals or drinks. You don't drive any more. You get success. The more money you make, the less people want you to spend. It's very bizarre.”
Charlie Sheen

“People need to realise what real happiness and success is, because success as an actor is fleeting.”
Chuck Norris

“Actually I never felt I would succeed on the screen. This I must face, I'm not the greatest beauty in the world.”
Jennifer Jones

“To be a success an actress must have the face of Venus, the brain of Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory or Macaulay, the figure of Juno and the hide of a rhinoceros.

Ethel Barrymore
