Peter Bogdanovich's quotes
- They're all so jealous in Hollywood. It's not enough to have a hit. Your best friend should also have a failure.
- I've always been a self-confessed opportunist.
- I always thought that the goal in movies was to extinguish disbelief.
- It's a misconception about acting that it's a practice in pretending to be someone else. It's actually a practice in finding the character within yourself.
- They don't have personalities, so they can't be stars. Do me a Tom Cruise impression, do me a Tom Hanks impression.
- [to producer Irwin Winkler, recounted in Peter Biskind's book "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls"] Remember me? I used to be Peter Bogdanovich.
- Filmmakers have a responsibility to the audience and to the work, I wish they felt that responsibility more, especially to what's true in life.
- The only formal training I ever did was four years as an actor. When I direct, I think like one of the actors.
- It's sad that most film-goers today never saw a movie made before Star Wars (Star Wars (1977)).
- [on making The Last Picture Show (1971)] I hope I'm not repeating what happened to [Orson Welles]. You know, make a successful serious film like this early and then spend the rest of my life in decline.
- Saint Jack (1979) and They All Laughed (1981) were two of my best films but never received the kind of distribution they should have.[2006]
- Red River (1948) was my favorite movie when I was ten.
- (On Cary Grant) I always wished he hadn't stopped.
- [on "Illegally Yours"] I consider that one to be my penance...for being so difficult with everybody while making "Mask" three years prior.
- [on the highs and lows of his career] I'm not bitter, I asked for it. Success is very hard. Nobody prepares you for it. You think you're infallible. You pretend you know more than you do. Pride goeth before the fall.
