John Carradine's quotes
- I've made some of the greatest films ever made--and a lot of crap, too.
- [his last words before passing away in Milan, Italy] Milan. What a beautiful place to die.
- As for making movies, who can act at eight o'clock in the morning? Let's face it!
- Directors never direct me. They just turn me loose.
- [on John Ford] Oh, Ford was a peculiar man. You had to know how to handle him. Actors were terrified of him because he liked to terrify them. He was a sadist.
- I am a ham! And the ham in an actor is what makes him interesting.
- Lionel Barrymore then had hands like mine are now--arthritic talons.
- Never do anything you wouldn't want to be caught dead doing.
- [In 1972] I still have an awful load to carry. I've been carrying a heavy load for thirty years. My youngest son is only 16; my next boy is 22. I've got a ways to go before I can call my life my own.
- [In 1973] I know, of course, that no self estimate is sure, but I think I'm better at acting than I am at dairy farming.
- [on Bela Lugosi] Oh, he was a charming man. He always had a bucket of red wine on the set which he pulled out gracefully all day long. He never forgot his line . . . he never lost his affability. He was a very affable man.
- [on Cedric Hardwicke] He had a wonderful quality that I noticed even before I ever met him. A wonderful quality of stillness in his face. Not a muscle ever moved, yet he conveyed wonderful things.
- Read all the [William Shakespeare] you can. If you play Shakespeare, you can play anything.
- I never made big money in Hollywood. I was paid in hundreds, the stars got thousands. But I worked with some of the greatest directors in films, and some of the greatest writers. They gave me freedom to do what I can do best and that was gratifying.
