I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I'll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.
From Alan Ladd
If you can figure out my success on the screen, you're a better man than I.
A producer has to know all about everything from set-building to costumes to acting.
As long as my pictures go into theaters and we ask people to pay to see what I do on the screen, I should not object if customers want to know what kind of man I am.
Being a good host offsets the deprivation and loneliness of my youth.
I don't care how small the parts are, as long as they're good.
I had only that one picture, Hitler, the Beast of Berlin, in which I had a part big enough to impress anyone. I tried for better roles over and over again.
I hear about stars being torn to pieces by fans. It never happened to me and I never saw it happen to anyone else.
I know what's good for me. I can't play black or gray. I can't be a villain or anything close to one. I have to play white.
I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then.
