George C. Scott Quotes
“Actors are the world’s oldest, underprivileged minority - looked upon as nothing but buffoons, one step above thieves and charlatans. These award ceremonies simply compound the image for me.”“Bette Davis is my bloody idol. I admire her more than any film star.” “[Marlon Brando] is an authentic genius in his field. No question in my mind about that. The thing about his genius is the originality, the freshness he brought to acting. Just overwhelming. Nobody had ever seen anything like that before. I wouldn’t want to do an entire film with the little darling - he’d drive me crazy. He’s dreadfully slow, does it over and over and over. Marlon would improve all the time.” “Directors are supposed to help the audience. Good directors don’t direct actors.” “[Stanley Kubrick is] an incredibly, depressingly serious man, with a wild sense of humor. But paranoid. He’s a perfectionist.” “It’s just a meat parade in front of an international television audience - degrading to have actors in competition with each another.” “But when it became an international hoopla where careers lived and died on whether or not you did or didn’t get an Oscar, then it got out of hand.” “There is no question you get pumped up by the recognition. Then a self-loathing sets in when you realise you’re enjoying it.” |
