Life would be kind if I could live it with Deborah around" They are all Robert Mitchum. The third quote is about Deborah Kerr who he surprisingly became a good friend with, The second quote was answering a question why, in his mid-60s, he took on the arduous task of an 18-hour mini-series The Winds of War 1983.

RE: the five career stages I saw Jack Elam in an interview saying them with his name. Made me laugh.
Repeated quotes It is said that Paul Newman explained that he did not give autographs because he was asked for one while he was using the facilities in a men's room. Sandra Bernhardt told the same story only with a slip of paper and pen being slipped to her under the stall door. Sounds more legit as being a Paul N. story !

My screen persona is a combination of Jack Buchanan, Noël Coward and Rex Harrison. I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be, and, finally, I became that person. Or he became me. I've often been accused by critics of being myself on-screen. But being oneself is more difficult than you'd suppose. She was this slip of a woman and I never liked skinny women. But she had this thing, this air you might call it, the most totally magnetic woman I'd ever seen, and probably ever seen since. You had to look at her, you had to listen to her; there was no escaping her. said about Katharine Hepburn BY Cary Grant

Frankly, I don't like publicity. I always remember something that David Belasco said and had incorporated in the contracts of his stars. His theory was, "Never let yourself be seen in public unless they pay for it". To me, that makes sense. The most glamorous, the most fascinating star our business ever had was Garbo [Greta Garbo]. Why? Because she kept herself from the public. Each member of the audience had his own idea of what she was really like. But take the other stars of today. There is no mystery about them. The public knows what kind of toothpaste they use, whether they sleep in men's pajamas and every intimate fact of their lives. When I read publicity about them, I can tell just which press agent they employ. Randolph Scott
