Ray Milland's quotes
- The greatest drawback in making pictures is the fact that film makers have to eat.
- [on Louella Parsons] She never forgot a thing and, by the same token, never forgave anyone who crossed her. But she was never vicious.
- [on Hedda Hopper] She was venomous, vicious, a pathological liar, and quite stupid.
- The Celtic mind in its lonely moments is a tumbling sea of love and compassion and romanticism and neurotic hates.
- [when asked why he had appeared in so many bad films late in his career] For the money, old chap, for the money!
- Ronald Reagan and George Murphy are very, very good men. They're really patriots. The word is overdone, but in their case it really applies.
- I keep playing neurotics because I'm a Welshman, and so I'm supposed to be moody. That's what people keep telling me I am, anyway. But I don't think Welshmen are any more moody than normal. It's the rest of the world that's out of step.
- I go to the cinema to be entertained, not depressed.
- My only desire politically is to shoot a few of the politicians. I'm not saying who. But I'm not tempted to become one myself, I couldn't stand dragging my family through all that muck.
- [on Paulette Goddard] She is the most honest actress I ever knew.
- My philosophy is do what you can with what you've got. I know actors from my generation who cry "Why don't they send me any scripts?". I tell them, "Because you still think of yourself as a leading man. You're 68, not 38. Face it.".
