Cary Grant Quotes
“Do your job and demand your compensation - but in that order.”“I don’t have a fond memory of Mae West. She did her own thing to the detriment of everyone around her.” “The Donald Spoto biography of Hitchcock was absolute nonsense. Hitchcock couldn’t have been a nicer fellow. I whistled coming to work on his films.” “We have our factory, which is called a stage. We make a product, we color it, we title it and we ship it out in cans.” “Yes, I was competitive, but not in a way I thought dishonourable.” “When people tell you how young you look, they are telling you how old you are.” “I often wonder how I’m going to die. You don’t want to embarrass friends.” “Divorce is a game played by lawyers.” “In St Louis, I knew a fellow who ran a whorehouse simply because it made him happy. Well, I do what makes me happy.” “My intention in taking LSD was to make myself happy. A man would be a fool to take something that didn’t make him happy.” “Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. I want to be Cary Grant.” “I improve on misquotation.” “I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.” “I try not to dress in a way which offends the world.” “My father used to say, ‘Let them see you and not the suit. That should be secondary.’” “My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.” “Producing life is better than producing films. [On fatherhood at 62.]” “I think that making love is the best form of exercise.” “Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.” “For years, I was frightened of women. You realize, especially when you’re young, that women are life-givers and they can take it away, too.” “Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one’s own past failings.” “Hemingway always rather disconcerted me - by eating the glass after he’d had his drink.” “They all say the same thing: ‘My wife will never believe I’ve met you unless you sign.’ What kind of wives think their husbands are all liars?” “To succeed with the opposite sex, tell her you’re impotent. She can’t wait to disprove it.” |
