Joseph L. Mankiewicz's quotes
- I think it can be said fairly that I've been in on the beginning, rise, peak, collapse, and end of the talking picture.
- The death of Hollywood is Mel Brooks and special effects. If Mel Brooks had come up in my day he wouldn't have qualified to be a busboy.
- [at the premiere of Cleopatra (1963) after being asked how he felt now that the movie was finally in the can and about to have its first showing] I feel like the guillotine is about to drop.
- [at the premier of Cleopatra (1963) when host Bert Parks called the film "a wonderful, wonderful achievement"] You must know something I don't.
- [on Katharine Hepburn] The most experienced amateur actress in the world.
- I am never quite sure whether I am one of the cinema's elder statesman or just the oldest whore on the beat.
- Every screenwriter worthy of the name has already directed his film when he has written his script.
- I felt the urge to direct because I couldn't stomach what was being done with what I wrote.
- (on Joan Crawford): The consummate movie star, she dressed the part, played it off screen and on, and adored every moment of it.
- (on Cecil B. DeMille): De Mille had his finger up the pulse of America.
- (on Judy Garland): The most remarkably bright, gay, happy, helpless, and engaging girl I've ever met.
- [To Katharine Hepburn on the set of Suddenly, Last Summer (1959)] We will resume shooting, Miss Hepburn, when the Directors Guild card, which I ordered for you, arrives from Hollywood.
- [on originally casting Claudette Colbert as Margo Channing in All About Eve (1950)] Claudette could have played it beautifully... bitchily, icily, with a great elegance - a piss elegance, if you like.
- [on Darryl F. Zanuck] A vicious, absurd little man.
- Myrna Loy has a smile that automatically changes the subject.
