“Failure is a character builder.”
“I'm watching how ridiculous everyone else looks, and I wonder why they don't realize it. Then I see that in fact, I too look like a fool. Yet it's so much fun that none of us can stop. If we stopped, we'd have nothing.”
“Only in a place like this do reporters and autograph hounds have absolutely no scruples about stampeding mourners at a funeral. Welcome to Hollywood, a land just off the coast of planet Earth.”
“- Thomas Ince: Can I be frank with you?
- W. R. Hearst: You can be whoever you like.”“Like others with tiny bullets hidden in their skulls, Thomas Ince held on unconscious for 2 days before dying in his own bed. There was plenty of misinformation in the days following his death, much of it coming from the Hearst press machine. Which inexplicably reported that Ince was stricken unconscious while visiting Hearst at his upstate ranch.”
