"Actors and technicians were being demobbed every day. Very soon the only ham actor left in the combined forces would be General George Patton."

King George VI of the United Kingdom: "How many men have you killed in war, General Patton?"
Patton: "Seven, sir.".
Dwight D. Eisenhower: "How many did you say, General Patton?"
Patton: "Three, sir."
Eisenhower: "Ok, George, we'll let you get away with that."George S. Patton
"Film star," "movie star" — whatever they want to try to call you is limiting, in the sense that I think an actor has to be able to play characters. To separate these things — you know: "leading man," "action hero," "character actor," stuff like that — I guess if I want to be close to anything, it would be a character actor, which is what I think an actor should be. So any of that "movie star" stuff, I just don't buy it. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Johnny Depp
Mr. [John] Barrymore’s smile was the smile of an actor who hates actors, and who knows that he is going to kill two or three before the play is over. I am not an actor-killer, but I like my Hamlets to dislike actors, if you know what I mean, and I think you don’t.
John Barrymore
(Speaking of Chinese president Sun Yat-sen) "...combined Benjamin Franklin and George Washington of China."
Calvin Coolidge
"If they made a film of my life, I think they should get George Clooney to play me. He's a fantastic actor and my wife thinks he would be ideal."
