Paul Muni - biography

“A writer can write in an attic, or on top of a bus.  Or with a sharp stick in some wet cement.  To act, an actor has to have words.  A stage.  a camera turning.”

“I don’t want to be a star.  If you have to label me anything, I’m an actor - I guess.  A journeyman actor.  I think ‘star’ is what you call actors who can’t act.”

“I’ve never tried to learn the art of acting.  I have been in the business for years but I still can’t tell what acting is or how it’s done.”

“Nature’s far too subtle to repeat herself.”

“I’m about as Chinese as Herbert Hoover.”
