🌟Classic Off-Screen Quotes: Joseph Cotten
My wife told me one of the sweetest things one could hear: 'I am not jealous. But I am truly sad for all the actresses who embrace you and kiss you while acting, for with them, you are only pretending.'
🌟Classic Off-Screen Quotes: Al Pacino
“Forget the career, do the work. If you feel what you are doing is on line and you’re going someplace and you have a vision and you stay with it, eventually things will happen.”
⭐Classic Off-Screen Quotes: Sidney Poitier

⭐Classic Off-Screen Quotes: Jack Lemmon
"If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable"
- Jack Lemmon
⭐Classic Off-Screen Quotes: Tyrone Power
Some day I will show all the motherf**kers who say I was a success just because of my pretty face. Sometimes I wish I had a really bad car accident so my face would get smashed up and I’d look like Eddie Constantine. It’s so tiring being everybody’s darling boy at my age … I know I’ve been lucky, that things have gone almost too smoothly career-wise. What I resent about it is that it is all built on a pretty face. Hollywood was such a crazy place, made you feel terrific at times. You felt you could achieve anything because you were treated like a god. But it sure was a bum place too. When you saw the new faces queuing up, like bloody comets, who would strike the screen and leave an old worshiped star obsolete in no time. Nobody will ever understand what this did to people, how it destroyed them, made them hollow … J***s C***t, I don’t want to become an ageless matinée idol, having to keep up my looks, lift my chin like Marlene and never dare smile in case my face cracks. - Tyrone Power
Buster Keaton- A Wonderful Soul
“I can still say that Buster Keaton was the kindest, gentlest man I have ever known. Everybody who knew him loved him, and I suppose that somewhere along the line I just joined the rest of the group. I think that these qualities come through in his films, and I trust that these pictures will remind everyone of what a wonderful soul he was.”
—Keaton’s wife Eleanor Norris
