“I suppose you might call me the sophisticated type. I like to act with dialogue. Not with grunts.”
“I really am a happy, amusing fellow at heart. Trouble is I seem the only one left.”
“Everybody wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant. I have spent the greater part of my life fluctuating between Archie Leach and Cary Grant; unsure of either, suspecting each. I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.”
“I do! I don't remember ever saying it in a movie, but now, every once in a while when I'm with friends, I say, "Judeeee, Judeeee, Judeeee," and everyone breaks up. Isn't that a good imitation of an imitation of an imitator?”
“My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between times, I occupy myself as best I can.”
“The film I most cared about was a flop. None But the Lonely Heart was the only time I played a character very near myself, a man unsure of himself, a drifter, a rake.”
