CLARK GABLEWhen the public doesn’t want me any longer, I’ll quit.
CLARK GABLEI never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once, and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level! It actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news on the seat of my pants.
CLARK GABLEThis power that I’m supposed to have over women was never noticed when I was a stage actor on Broadway. I don’t know when I got it. And by God, I can’t explain it.
CLARK GABLESingle men never have any problems. I suppose that the public builds some kind of idea from what they’ve seen of me on the screen.
CLARK GABLEI’m no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me.

CLARK GABLEOnly interested in himself and profiting from the war as an unscrupulous entrepreneur, and not in being a patriot: “I believe in Rhett Butler. He’s the only cause I know. The rest doesn’t mean much to me.”
CLARK GABLEHoney, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dying’s as natural as living. The man who’s too afraid to die is too afraid to live.
CLARK GABLEClark Gable was the only real he-man I’ve ever known, of all the actors I’ve met.
CLARK GABLEThe only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great – and they know I know it.
