I only wanted to sing. Never to act. But somehow, thanks to peculiar circumstances, I was persuaded to act in the movies. I hated every moment of it and tried virtually every trick to get out of it.

I'm an old sinner. Nothing shocks me.

The soul of man has been given wings and at last he is beginning to fly!

The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.

I'm an old weed. The more I'm cut down, the more I spring up again.

The roses you lifted to your lips ... lucky roses!
