José Ferrer's quotes
- I am more important than my problems.
- The truth is I made a few good movies in the '50s, then went into freefall.
- [on George C. Scott] It's a concentrated fury, a sense of inner rage, a kind of controlled madness.
- [on getting his left ear pierced in 1972 after a bet with his then-fiancée Stella Daphne Magee] Now, instead of listening to her talk about having her ears pierced, I have to explain why mine is.
- [on his earring] I wear larger ones at home than I am wearing tonight. I'd like to have more, of course, but you can't find that many people who will give you one earring. [The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Oct. 14, 1972]
