Lew Ayres's quotes

  • To me, war was the greatest sin. I couldn't bring myself to kill other men.
  • I never had a great talent, but I suppose I must have had something to hang around for 50 years. I don't have any proclivity for acting. It was always difficult for me to learn my lines, which is something that should come easily to any actor.
  • I considered myself a Hollywood success, but there was something wrong with that success. I had everything, yet I had nothing. I had my books, my home, my companions, my music. But somehow, I was lonely."
