Leslie Howard's quotes
- [Describing one of his Gone with the Wind (1939) costumes]: I look like that sissy doorman at the Beverly Wilshire, a fine thing at my age.
- I hate the damn part. I'm not nearly beautiful or young enough for Ashley, and it makes me sick being fixed up to look attractive.
- I feel the pressure from other people coming at me. When shots don't fall for one person I think it is a domino effect.
- What the actor is in private life, he is to a large extent on the stage, because he cannot conceal himself and his true personality from his audience.
- Don't think I am not homesick for America. I say 'homesick' advisedly because I am a man with two homes -- America, which gave me hospitality for many happy years, and where my daughter was born; and my native England.
- [July 1933] I can't think of anything more exciting than trying to be an actor.
