Lee Marvin Quotes
“I love Marlon Brando. Never seem him bad, just less good.”“Newman has it all worked out. I get a million. He gets a million two, but that includes 200,000 dollar expenses.” “Tequila. Straight. There’s a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won’t go down. Then you know you’ve reached your limit.” “As soon as people see my face on a movie screen, they knew two things: first, I’m not going to get the girl, and second, I’ll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over.” “Cardinal rule - always get yourself killed off in a picture that looks like it’s going to be a success.” “Films have given me an opportunity to do things that normally you’d be locked up for, put into prison and executed for. I can act it out, be paid and go home.” “I only make movies to finance my fishing.” “My films won’t send people out into the street with axes or anything. The Shirley Temple movies are more likely to do that. After listening to The Good Ship Lollipop, you gotta go out and beat up somebody. Stands to reason.” “If you’re going to be bad, be real bad. In filmmaking, once the spaghetti is going through the machine at 11 cents a foot or whatever, the thing is to use it, and I did. I leaned on people, real hard.” “Too many women don’t realize they’re women and that disturbs me.” “I’ll know my career’s going bad when they start quoting me correctly.” “If I have any appeal at all, it’s to the fellow who takes out the garbage.” “My reputation as a wild man, you gotta understand, was always a little exaggerated. Christ, my mother’s had stranger things happen to her.” |
