John Forsythe's quotes
- I am an amiable fellow with no mind of my own.
- I like to be what I am, a reasonably simple happy kind of fellow.
- [on his long-running marriage to second wife Julie Warren] And it turned out to be a marriage that lasted 50-some-odd years. Not bad!
- [In 1970 about being the more mature man he was trying to be] I was a loose-jointed young man about many things, I had no sense of responsibility. I wasn't a very serious fellow. Now I have a better sense of proportion about work and hard discipline.
- I have been a very lucky fella, because I never considered myself a Marlon Brando or a Laurence Olivier. I always said life consists of love and work. I tried to balance it 50-50. And, of course, now I'm so happy I did.
- [About being cast on Dynasty (1981)] My Carrington is much more human than he had been conceived by the authors and by the producer, at the beginning.
- [on his popularity while playing the 60-something Blake Carrington on Dynasty (1981)] It's rather amusing at my advanced age to become a sex symbol.
- I'm a vastly usable, not wildly talented actor.
- Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift and all those were in torn T-shirts, and I had my button-down collars. They called me the Brooks Bros. bohemian.
- [In 1981] I figure there are a few actors like Marlon Brando, George C. Scott and Laurence Olivier, who have been touched by the hand of God. I'm in the next bunch.
- [on Dynasty (1981)'s Moldavia storyline] Moldavia -- we're still living that down. That was one of our less ineffective storylines.
- [In 1984] I've had a good time but if I had been willing to starve so that I could play Hamlet, I might have been a better actor than I am today.
- [on champagne] Once you drink one glass, you went another.
- [In 1977] I've played a lot of reporters and have learned that a kind of intellectualism goes with being a newsman.
