Fredric March's quotes
- Keep interested in others; keep interested in the wide and wonderful world. Then in a spiritual sense, you will always be young.
- I liked the name Frederick Bickel and I wish now I had left it as it was. After all, Theodore Bikel, whose name was similar though spelled differently, didn't change his, and he did all right.
- Co-starring with Greta Garbo hardly constituted an introduction.
- [commenting on the fact that he and Wallace Beery, who both won Best Actor Oscars for 1931-32 due to a tie, had recently adopted children] It seems a little odd that we were both given awards for the best male performance of the year.
- [on Joan Crawford] She was a nice person, but a real movie star. She even brought her own music to the set [of Susan and God (1940)]--a whole entourage, a violinist and a pianist to play her favorite songs, to get her into the proper mood for the scenes.
- Actually, I was not overwhelmed by Greta Garbo's beauty. I think at that time women were more attracted to her than men.
- [on receiving a kiss from Audrey Hepburn after her Oscar win in 1954] I'll take a dozen of those.
