"We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we're in the present, but we aren't. The present we know is only a movie of the past."

"Acting is invigorating. But I don't analyse it too much. It's like a dog smelling where it's going to do its toilet in the morning."

"Well, they just don't know anything else except that one form of their business, acting, and they don't really want to learn any other part of it, or they would. Directing and producing and putting a show together is very creative, for me."
Business
"So I felt, well, I'll make the money and, with the money, do what I want to do."
Money
"People like Spencer Tracy held up because they had the background originally, but to this day they never have changed Mr. Gable's role, or most of them."
People
"So then you have to say to yourself: Do I want to be rich, or do I want to do good work?"
Work
"I would also like to act, once in a while, but not get up every morning at 5:30 or six o'clock and pound into the studio and get home at 7:30 or eight o'clock at night, or act over and over and over every night on Broadway, either."
Home
"I never say too much about that in public interviews, because it disappoints the public to tell them you're not that crazy about a property you did that possibly they liked."
Property
"So whatever I might have started to learn at that age was all undone by the next director and next crew in the next cheap picture, because I was allowed to get away with murder."
Age
"But the working I would always want to do."
Want
"So if I keep making mistakes on Broadway or tape or film, producing, directing or acting, I can go along and do it - so long as I'm not investing too much capital in these things."
Acting
"A nice, steady job I don't need that bad. I'm not that satisfied with it."
