“When you smile it’s like the sun coming up.”

Every 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.

I don’t want a lot of strangers looking down at my wrinkles and my big fat belly when I’m dead.

I bring to a role everything I am, was and hope to be.

The 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.

Only 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.”

When the public doesn’t want me any longer, I’ll quit.

This 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.

They see me as an ordinary guy, like a construction worker or the guy who delivers your piano.

I thought a thread of notable quotes relating to coffee may be interesting.

I 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.

I’m no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me.

The 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.

I never laugh until I’ve had my coffee.

I 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.

Single 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.

Marilyn is a kind of ultimate. She is uniquely feminine. Everything she does is different, strange, and exciting, from the way she talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso. She makes a man proud to be a man.

I’m sure the time will come when everyone can get together and talk with a smile.

A smile is the same as sunshine; it banishes winter from the human countenance.

You were created to make somebody else’s life better. Somebody needs your smile. They need your love, your encouragement & your gifts.

You might not believe it but you make the world a better place when you smile.

I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give’em yours!

I was glad my father was an eye-smiler. It meant he never gave me a fake smile because it’s impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren’t feeling twinkly yourself.

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.

Wigs are great, but a smile is always your best accessory!
