What Charles Bronson has done for a first time
- Was one of the first big stars to note the emerging "new media" that was arriving--video and laserdisc--and had a clause put in all his contracts that sales from these new formats should be included in his royalties.
- Once told Roger Ebert that getting drafted into World War II was one of the best things that happened to him. For the first time in his life he was well fed and well dressed, and it afforded him the opportunity to improve his English.
- When he first signed with his long-time agent Paul Kohner, he told Kohner that if he made him a star, he'd buy Kohner a Rolls-Royce. True to his word, when he made it big he delivered a brand-new Rolls-Royce to the Kohner house.
Charles Bronson's quotes
- I guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited.
- Acting is the easiest thing I've done, I guess that's why I'm stuck with it.
- Someday I'd like a part where I can lean my elbow against a mantlepiece and have a cocktail.
- I don't look like someone who leans on a mantelpiece with a cocktail in my hand, you know. I look like the kind of guy who has a bottle of beer in my hand.
- [in 1971] Maybe I'm too masculine. Casting directors cast in their own, or an idealized image. Maybe I don't look like anybody's ideal.
- I am not a fan of myself.
- Nobody stays on top forever. Nobody!
- [explaining his enduring popularity] Audiences like to see the bad guys get their comeuppance.
- Stripping naked is not entertainment. It's for voyeurs and I'm damned sure I'm not going to feed their imaginations and let them get their licks by seeing me totally nude.
- [on why he was cast in You're in the Navy Now (1951)] I got the job because I could belch on cue.
- One of the ironies is that I made my breakthrough in movies shot in Europe that the Japanese thought were American movies and that the Americans thought were foreign.
- We don't make movies for critics, since they don't pay to see them anyhow.
- I am only a product, like a cake of soap, to be sold as well as possible.
