Erich Von Stroheim's quotes
- The difference between me and [Ernst Lubitsch] is that he shows you the king on the throne and then he shows you the king in his bedroom. I show you the king in his bedroom first. Then when you see him on the throne you have no illusions about him.
- [on seeing the two-hour version of Greed (1924), rather than the whole film] It was like viewing a corpse in a graveyard.
- [on Irving Thalberg and the cutting of Greed (1924)] The man who cut my picture has nothing on his head but a hat!
- [shouting at actors while shooting Foolish Wives (1922)] I'm making this picture for the theatre! Not for the actors!
- [dying in bed, informing his biographer] This is not the worst. The worst is that they stole 25 years from my life...
- My Vienna is as different from what they call Vienna now as the quick is from the dead.
- [shouting at Jean Hersholt and Gibson Gowland during a fight scene in Greed (1924)] Fight! Fight! Try to hate each other as you both hate me!
- [introducing his version of The Merry Widow (1925)] All the good things in this film were made by me. The things that are no good in it were made by others.
