If any child of mine becomes an actor I will turn in my grave.
CLARK GABLEIf any child of mine becomes an actor I will turn in my grave.
CLARK GABLEWhen you smile it’s like the sun coming up.
CLARK GABLEIt is an extra dividend when you like the girl you’ve fallen in love with.
CLARK GABLEEvery picture I make, every experience of my private life, every lesson I learn are the keys to my future. And I have faith in it.
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 GABLEWhen it’s over it’s over. No questions, no tears, no farewell kisses.
CLARK GABLEI hate a liar. Maybe because I’m such a good one myself, heh? Anyway, to find someone has told an out and out lie puts him on the other side of the fence from me for all time.
CLARK GABLEI am intrigued by glamorous women. A vain woman is continually taking out a compact to repair her makeup. A glamorous woman knows she doesn’t need to.
CLARK GABLEThe things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence.

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 GABLEI’m no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me.
CLARK GABLEI don’t discuss women at all with anyone. There are good qualities in all women. Some may be lacking in some of these qualities and should have them. I’m liable to say so and hurt their feelings, and it wouldn’t be meant that way at all.
CLARK GABLEMethod actors are like hams.
CLARK GABLEThe things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it.
CLARK GABLEThe only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great – and they know I know it.
