In the middle of my third Hollywood picture The Magician, the earthquake hit Hollywood. Not the real earthquake. Just the talkies.

I used to think then that I was Bohemian, but I know now that I am not. I prefer order and precision to untidiness and looseness.

So now it is time to disassemble the parts of the jigsaw puzzle or to piece another one together, for I find that, having come to the end of my story, my life is just beginning.

Have you ever walked late at night through a forest when you are first in love?

I can see now that I should have been strong enough to conquer myself.

No, I was not born with a monocle in my eye.

For me, half the joy of achieving has been the struggle and the fight, the pitting myself against the world and all its competition - and winning.

I have no illusions about my art. I am what the public made me and, consequently, I am not likely to forget my debt to them.

I wish, naturally to prevent the possibility that someone may write an accidental, superficial, incomplete and perhaps untrue picture of me.

What use is there for a biography of myself? I'm just a movie actor.

Is my imagination as important as reality? Sometimes I think YES... It's imagination what makes reality tolerable... Sometimes, I just want to close my eyes and fall in to the endless imagination...

AcceptanceThere are things I missthat I shouldn't, and those I don'tthat I should.Sometimes we wantwhat we couldn't—sometimes we lovewho we could.

I just want one person I can rescue and I want one person who needs me. Who can't live without me. I want to be a hero, but not just one time.

A few shackles and bars and this place'd be forced to call itself a prison!

Random chance plays a huge part in everybody's life.

I don't think the Donald Trump's qualified to be president of the United States, and every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed.

I want to go where I can be of the most service to the general enterprise.

(Wine is) the nurse of old age.

A garden is mainly ...a space around which interests can be accumulated.

Shallows where a lamb could wade and depths where an elephant would drown.
