Edward G. Robinson's quotes
- I have not collected art. Art collected me. I never found paintings. They found me. I have never even owned a work of art. They owned me.
- To last you need to be real.
- To be entrusted with a character was always a big responsibility to me.
- To my mind, the actor has this great responsibility of playing another human being . . . it's like taking on another person's life and you have to do it as sincerely and honestly as you can.
- I remember just before going onto the soundstage, I'd look in my dressing room mirror and stretch myself to my full 5'5" or 5'6"--whatever it was--to make me appear taller and to make me able to dominate all the others and to mow them down with my size.
- Paintings never really belong to one of us. If we are fortunate, as I have been, we are allowed at most a lovely time of custody.
- Some people have youth, some have beauty--I have menace.
- The sitting around on the set is awful. But I always figure that's what they pay me for. The acting I do for free.
- [on Humphrey Bogart] I always felt sorry for him--sorry that he had imposed upon himself the character with which he had become identified.
- [om writer/director Richard Brooks] As feisty, individual, unpredictable and honest as any man I've ever known.
- [on being cast in The Ten Commandments (1956)] Cecil B. DeMille restored my self-respect.
- Every one of us bears within him the possibility of all passions, all destinies of life in all its manifold forms. Nothing human is foreign to us.
