Yul Brynner's quotes
- People don't know my real self, and they're not about to find out.
- [to interviewers] Just call me a nice, clean-cut Mongolian boy.
- Girls have an unfair advantage over boys: If they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.
- [recorded in January 1985, after he was diagnosed with lung cancer] Now that I'm gone, I tell you: Don't smoke, whatever you do, just don't smoke. If I could take back that smoking, we wouldn't be talking about any cancer. I'm convinced of that.
- I'm not of the can-kicking, shovel-carrying, ear-scratching, torn T-shirt school of acting. There are very few real men in the movies these days. Yet being a real man is the most important quality an actor can offer on the screen.
- [on his character Chris Adams from The Magnificent Seven (1960) and Return of the Seven (1966)] Well . . . He's just a dirty bum. There are only two things clean about him: His gun and his soul.
- [his Academy Award for Best Actor acceptance speech, 1957] I hope this is not a mistake, because I won't give it back for anything in the world. Thank you very much.
