Robert Cummings's quotes
- [on his lifelong devotion to healthy eating] I'd love to tell all those critics how well I feel today because of my diet. But they're all dead.
- I had to have a sharp wardrobe and a fancy car and foot the bill at the nightclubs. And my date, who was earning ten times as much as I was, would brag about how she borrowed her dress and furs from the studio.
- [In 1949] I figure producers are paying me a lot of money and I ought to dress well.
- [Asked if he was upset by the cancellation of The Bob Cummings Show (1961)] No, we knew, by about the 15th show, that we had too much, that it was too expensive to do a full adventure show in a half-hour, and with airplanes.
- [on the breakup of his first marriage] I was accused of being a vitamin addict, of eating 40 or 50 tablets a day. I said, "That's a dastardly lie, I take 140!".
- [In 1972] It was my dad's theory that nature usually knows best. It isn't so much what you eat as what you don't get when you eat.
- You can accomplish anything you want, if you act as if it were already accomplished. Know what you want, where you are going. But don't tell anyone what you're constructing.
- [asked if he didn't want to go back to Hollywood] No, I wouldn't go back to California. I'm too old for that. Besides, the air there would kill me.
- [In 1978] I've been in this business 50 years and I'm a nervous wreck! I'm getting too old for all this excitement. I've already lost eight pounds from running around the stage. I'll just have to pray to St. Jude and I'm not even Catholic.
- It's a hard life. Much harder than it looks. It can get to be lonely and frustrating. People have this idea of what luxury a star must have. Some towns are terrible.
- I always take my family with me. I'd die without them!
- [speaking of his wife "Gee-Gee"] I just love my wife! She's brilliant! Half my age and twice as smart.
- If I have a problem I get expert counsel,then ask the opinion of a good psychic.
