Victor Mature's quotes

I'm no actor, and I've got 64 pictures to prove it.
If you're so concerned about fucking privacy, don't become a fucking actor!
Actually, I am a golfer. That is my real occupation. I never was an actor. Ask anybody, particularly the critics.
[about the movie Head (1968)] I don't understand it. All I know is it makes me laugh.
[on Samson and Delilah (1949)] Samson wasn't exactly bad for me. How can you go wrong in a picture that is going to pull in 17 million and maybe as high as 20? Why, I'm getting fan mail from places all over the world that I've never heard of before.
I'm an emotional actor. When I'm doing a scene, I really believe it. I live the part as long as I'm in the scene.
[of his decision to retire from acting at age 46] It wasn't fun anymore. I was OK financially, so I thought what the hell... I'll become a professional loafer.
In a scene with 3,000 extras, if one guy in the back was picking his nose, Mr. DeMille would spot it and stop everything to chew him out.
DeMille hired the best people in town for his films, and since we were all professionals he didn't feel he had to direct us too much. He figured we knew our jobs. He'd say a few words to us, then shoot the scene. But he didn't miss a trick.
[1992] When Samson and Delilah (1949) came out, I received very flattering telegrams from Mr. DeMille (Cecil B. DeMille) and another pioneer filmmaker, Jesse L. Lasky, whose son, Jesse, Jr. (Jesse Lasky Jr.), had written the screenplay. I still have them.
I wasn't pampered the way a Tyrone Power was. Zanuck would say to producers, "If you're not careful, you son of a bitch, I'll give you Mature for your next picture."
[on retirement] I thought it would be a good idea to sort of enjoy what I had worked so hard for and see how the other half of the world lived.
I loaf very gracefully. There's a lot to be said about loafing if you know how to do it gracefully.
I took acting five times as seriously as anyone else. I just couldn't show it. Some kind of complex, I guess.
Hollywood was wonderful in the forties. [20th Century] Fox was like a country club.
You've got to be one thing or the other in Hollywood. Either people think you're lousy jerk like me or a great guy like Gable. Not six people know Gable intimately, yet everyone will tell you what a great guy he is.
