George Stevens's quotes
- [on CinemaScope] It's fine if you want a system that shows a boa constrictor to better advantage than a man.
- [on The Talk of The Town (1942)] I knew it was going to come off all along: it didn't have that element of hazard in it. It was more of an understood flight with a take-off time and an arrival time and not too much headwind.
- If a director is lucky enough to work with Irene Dunne, his worries disappear. Every scene she's in matches; she's the film editor's delight. I would say she's just about as "careless" as George Arliss.
- [on James Dean] All in all, it was a hell of a headache to work with him.
- [on Jean Arthur] One of the greatest comediennes the screen has ever seen. When she works, she gives everything that's in her, and she studies her roles more than most of the actresses I've known.
- [in response to a question from Shelley Winters on the difference between stage and screen acting] Shelley, in films you talk soft and think loud.
- [whispered to Irene Dunne during filming of I Remember Mama (1948)] For a woman who wears white gloves to work in the morning, you certainly know how to scrub a floor.
- War is the tenseness, the eternal waiting, the warping or ennobling of character that constant strain produces. To me, the greatest war shot is of a taut G.I. in a foxhole, nervously puffing a cigarette. That's war.
