Glenn Ford's quotes

• When I'm on camera, I have to do things pretty much the way I do things in everyday life. It gives the audience someone real to identify with.
• People laugh when I say I'm not an actor, but I'm not, I play myself.
• The Western is a man's world and I love it.
• I've never played anyone but myself on screen.
• If they tried to rush me, I'd always say I've only got one other speed, and it's slower.
• "Never give up. Take what life throws at you and throw it right back. If life keeps throwing then you have a tennis match going. Learn to like tennis." (2002)
• Ronald Reagan was a true friend and an American Patriot. We are proud of him and his service to the country. We need men like him today.
• [In westerns] you don't have to speak English to understand what's going on. I've always said the talking pictures talk too much anyway.
• I'm out of place doing sophistication. I'm so uncomfortable in a tuxedo.
• When I see films that go on and on with dialogue, I feel like telling the actors, "Be quiet! Let the audience do some of the work!" (from a 1975 interview with Bob Thomas, Canadian Press)
• Some actors count their lines as soon as they receive a script. I'm the opposite. I try to see how many lines I can whittle down...You can say just as much in 4 as you can in 14.
• Hell, no actor is going to tell Frank Capra how to make a picture. He has forgotten more about movie-making than most directors ever know.
• Americans playing Shakespeare are really ridiculous.
• Asked how he wished to be remembered: He did his best and he believed in God.
• I wish I were up and around, but I'm doing the best that I can. There's so much I have to be grateful for. (1 May 2006)
