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

I 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.

When it’s over it’s over. No questions, no tears, no farewell kisses.

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 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.

I do much of my creative thinking while golfing. If people know you’re working at home they think nothing of walking in for a cup of coffee, but wouldn’t dream of interrupting on the golf course.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

Cold coffee is a liquid morgue.

The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.

I love you most in that place between coffee and sleep.

Uniting two strangers over a warm sip at the right coffee shop, & the perfect time. Coffee in a way acts as a cupid.

I’m like sugar in the coffee. Stir me and I’ll dissolve into you.
