After The Wizard Of Oz I was typecast as a lion, and there aren't all that many parts for lions.

Some people lose all respect for the lion unless he devours them instantly. There is no pleasing some people.

Often, what allows someone to behave heroically in dire circumstances is unpalatable in day-to-day life.

That was my one big Hollywood hit, but, in a way, it hurt my picture career. After that, I was typecast as a lion, and there just weren't many parts for lions.

The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort.

I try not to be cruel to people. I know there's a karma, and I'm constantly thinking of my blessings. I live and die by being a Baptist. If I can't go to church on a Sunday, I'll get a tape by the Clark Sisters and slide it in for the day.

A lion is not a lion is not a lion. As individuals, as mates, as members of a society, they're all very different.

You know, I am a Leo. Lion is a giant part of me.

A lioness has got a lot more power than the lion likes to think she has.
