![]() Stewart Granger Quotation"The cinema world is not easy. it's full of envy from little people - heads of studios, for example, who hate people for their attractiveness." "I haven't aged into a character actor. I'm still an old leading man." "I was a good costume actor, but I shortened my career because I made the wrong choices." "I've never done a film I'm proud of." [on Joan Collins in 1984] "She's common, she can't act - yet she's the hottest female property around these days. If that doesn't tell you something about the state of our industry today, what does?" [on friends] "Damn 'em all except six - and they can be pallbearers. If they stumble, damn them, too." "I don't know which was the greatest disaster: my career or my wives." (quote about the play, "The Circle") "Old Granger's back! But some people are going to be shocked. If they've watched me on an afternoon film looking young and smooth, heaven knows what they'll think when they come to the theatre and see this elder-statesman figure with white hair!" Movie Title: Salome: The Dance of the Seven Veils (1953) as Commander Claudius: Commander Claudius : Why waste a slave? Pontius Pilate : Why not? The world's full of them. Movie Title: Young Bess (1953) as Thomas Seymour: Thomas Seymour : If you were queen of England, what would you do, eh? Would you give your admiral the opportunity to do great deeds? Queen Elizabeth I : I'd give him the opportunities he never dared dream about. I'd send him around the globe as the Portuguese do. I'd send him to the New World to let the Spaniards know that they are no longer masters of it. Thomas Seymour : That won't be easy. We're a small country, Bess. Queen Elizabeth I : That can be remedied, Tom. It CAN be remedied! Movie Title: Bhowani Junction (1956) as Col. Rodney Savage: Col. Rodney Savage : You want me to tell you something? The only people to face reality are the ones too dumb to duck when they see it coming. Movie Title: The Light Touch (1952) as Sam Conride: Sam Conride : That cologne of yours is very loud. Felix Guignol : But in Tunis, very necessary. Felix Guignol : How much progress have you made with Miss Vasarri? Sam Conride : Well, either she's extremely naïve, or, what is worse, she's just plain honest. Felix Guignol : Don't be so unhappy. Marriage is a lottery. You may be getting a prize. Sam Conride : Well, if it's a lottery, there ought to be a law against it. Felix Guignol : There are only two kinds of people: the impractical and the practical. And you cannot do business with the impractical. The best thing to do is to stay away from them. They confuse faith and ethics for business. Sam Conride : Have you got a faith, Felix? Felix Guignol : Certainly, my faith is that nothing is worth believing in. My faith is faithlessness, and so is yours. If we give that up, what are we going to live by? Man has to believe in something, even if it's nothing. |
