George C. Scott's quotes

The [Academy Awards] ceremonies are a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reasons.
There is no question you get pumped up by the recognition. Then a self-loathing sets in when you realize you're enjoying it.
[on psychoanalysis] Four visits. I kept laughing. I couldn't get serious. If it helps you, it helps you. If standing on your head on the roof helps you, it helps you - if you think so.
Directors are supposed to help the audience. Good directors don't direct actors.
Bette Davis is my bloody idol. I admire her more than any other film star.
I became an actor to escape my own personality. Acting is the most therapeutic thing in the world. I think all the courage that I may lack personally, I have as an actor.
Actors are the world's oldest, underprivileged minority - looked upon as nothing but buffoons, one step above thieves and charlatans. These award ceremonies simply compound the image for me.
My violent behavior is some sort of aberration, a character defect I'm not particularly proud of.
[on acting] It was the only avenue of escape I had from myself. It's never been difficult to subjugate myself to a part because I don't like myself too well. Acting was, in every sense, my means of survival.
Since childhood, the whole self-loathing thing was a big part of my makeup. Now I've learned to say, "Okay, I've screwed up." Then I try to make amends.
For me, the sexiest woman on the screen ever was Joan Blondell.
[on Jack Nicholson] He's eccentric but very interesting. A unique kind of approach. He shines because he's himself a rather interesting eccentric. A very fascinating actor.
[early thoughts on Patton (1970)] It's an inadequate script and it's very difficult for me. Patton was misunderstood contemporaneously and he's misunderstood here. And I'm ashamed of being a part of it.
Acting is just a matter of observation, imitation and communication. That's what it's all about.
Actors are always in trouble. A director who isn't a help is a drag.
Technique is making what is absolutely false appear to be totally true in a manner that is not recognizable.
The audience is a dark thing, a peculiar animal, an enemy that must be assaulted and won. It doesn't matter a damn what the actor does or does not feel. It's what the lady down there in the blue hat is feeling.
[on training to be an actor] Much of the learning process is finding out what not to do, like indulging in excesses... method acting, where they all get together and act for each other in a test-tube atmosphere.
[on working with Marlon Brando on The Formula (1980)] He would drive you crazy. He does it over and over and over. Marlon would improve all the time. I'm not sure about the rest of us.
[on Stanley Kubrick] He is most certainly in command, and he's so self-effacing and apologetic, it's impossible to be offended by him.
