Sterling Hayden's quotes
- Incredible, really--how I got away with it; parlaying nine years at sea into two decades of posturing.
- There's nothing wrong with being an actor, if that's what a man wants. But there's everything wrong with achieving an exalted status simply because one photographs well and is able to handle dialogue.
- [on his films] Bastards, most of them, conceived in contempt of life and spewn out onto screens across the world with noxious ballyhoo; saying nothing, contemptuous of the truth, sullen and lecherous.
- [on why he hated acting] Because, in the final analysis, an actor is only a pawn--brilliant sometimes, rare and talented, capable of bringing pleasure and even inspiration to others, but no less a pawn for that.
- I wonder whether there has ever before been a man who bought a schooner and joined the Communist Party all on the same day.
- [on quitting the Communist Party] I'd rather be wrong on my own than be right on somebody else's say-so.
- I'm not a member of the Party. I'm not under the discipline or influence of the Party, not that I know of. What's more, I never was, even when I was a member.
- I did nothing in 1947, for which Paramount paid me $70,000.
- [on confessing his Communist ties] I don't think you have the foggiest notion of the contempt I have had for myself since the day I did that thing . . . It's the one thing in my life that I'm categorically ashamed of.
- [to producers at end of each picture] When you took me, who did you REALLY want for the picture?
- [after shooting Johnny Guitar (1954)] There is not enough money in Hollywood to lure me into making another picture with Joan Crawford. And I like money.
- I started at the top and worked my way down.
- I don't think there are many other businesses where you can be paid good money and not know what you're doing.
- If I had the dough I'd buy up the negative of every film I ever made . . . and start one hell of a fire.
- [on The Long Goodbye (1973)] That was first thing I ever did that I could actually stand to watch on screen--the first time I wasn't acutely mortified.
- I work when I get broke or when something comes along that has some integrity or guts.
- What confuses me is I ain't all that unhappy. So why do I drink, I don't know.
