Quotes

• “I can’t tell you how encouraging a thing like this is. The first film that I was ever in was in 1915, and here we are, and it’s 1969. Actually, I don’t know why it took me so long, though I don’t think, you know, that I’m backward. Anyway, thank you Bill, thank you Bob, thank you Roman and thank you Mia, and thank all of you who voted for me.”
• “Work on yourself. Believe in yourself. Show up! Support others! The bounty of the world will open up for you.”
• “The biggest limitations are the ones we place on ourselves, and opportunities rise up to meet the unique offerings of people.”
• “I wipe away all the unpleasantness of the day, of the people, of the city, whatever. We have it in our power to overcome assholes, and I think we have them thrown into our path to see if we have the chops to handle them.”
• “I was amazed the way Garson could take these teams and make me want to see their pictures all over again.”
• “Don't be helpless, don't give up, don't kill yourself, don't look for trouble. Stuff gets in your way, kick it under the rug. Stay well, stay with it, make it come out...”
