“When I found out that I could carry a tune, well, I came to realize that I had a gift, that it was a kind of a blessing. And I think if you're given something special, you ought to try and give that something back. If you don't, it's a sin. No question.”— Howard Keel

[Silver Screen Star Quotes @AlexaColo73]

“I had a wonderful career. I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience. The challenge is how you turn a character into behavior. Once the director says 'action', you just try to live between those two worlds.”— Robert Duvall

"One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You're eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you."-- Meryl Streep

“I can't articulate about the Method because I never studied it. I don't mean to suggest that I have any feelings one way or the other about it. I don't know what the Method is and I don't care what the Method is. Everybody's got a method. Everybody can't articulate about their method, and I can't, if I have a method - and Jane sometimes says that I use the Method, that is, the capital letter Method, without being aware of it. Maybe I do, it doesn't matter.”— Henry Fonda

“They say, “Pardon me, Mr. Van Dyke, but you seem so happy. What’s your secret?” What they really want to know is how I have managed to grow old, even very old, without growing up, and the answer is this: I haven’t grown up. I play. I dance with my inner child. Every day.”— Dick Van Dyke

"I was really frightfully snubbed. I won't mention names, but I was coldly treated by some of the stars. The one person who was really nice to me and from whom I least expected it - I don't know why, now that I know her - was Jean Harlow. She came clear across the room to meet me and said something very gracious about admiring my work and wanting to know more of me."-- Merle Oberon
