I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family. I just didn`t have the skills to pull that off and so...
Mark Hamill
[on Charles Boyer] Charles Boyer remains my favorite leading man. I found him a man of intellect, taste and discernment. He was unselfish, dedicated to his work. Above all, he cared about the quality of the film he was making, and unlike most leading men ...

Joan Fontaine
[speaking in 2004] There certainly is such a thing as screen chemistry, although I don`t believe you find it frequently. There was a definite on-screen chemistry between Errol [Errol Flynn] and me. Before us, the most potent example was Janet Gaynor and C...
Olivia De Havilland
[on Jerry Lewis] At some point he said to himself, "I`m extraordinary, like Charles Chaplin." From then on nobody could tell him anything. He knew it all.
Dean Martin
[2005 Academy Awards acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Ray (2004/I)] I guess we got to do it again. "Oh, ah!" Yeah, you`re ready. That`s for Ray Charles. Give it up for Ray Charles and his beautiful legacy. And thank you, Ray Charles,...

Jamie Foxx
Three or four times, I`ve pulled a gun on somebody. I had a problem after Charles Manson, deciding to get a gun. But I didn`t want somebody coming in my house and committing mayhem. The Hillside Strangler victims - one of the girls was found in back of my...
Marlon Brando
[on Charles Laughton] He was the first kind of legend I actually had contact with professionally, which was very exciting. I admired him in his movies; I`d never seen him on the stage. I thought he was terrific.
Albert Finney
[On Charles Chaplin]: The greatest compliment I ever got was from Chaplin. He came up to me and said `I wish I could talk like you on the screen.` I said `I think you`re doing alright.` He had made $50 million by that point. He was the best comedian we ev...
Groucho Marx
[On playing "Vera Charles" in Mame (1974)] You know, the real name of this show is "Vera". The only reason they changed the name was because Jerry [lyricist Jerry Herman] couldn`t think of a rhyme for it. Stephen Sondheim could have.
Beatrice Arthur
Charles Laughton and his wife, Elsa Lanchester, were never blessed with children. Years after he died, Elsa wrote her autobiography and claimed they never had children because Laughton was homosexual. That`s rubbish. Whether or nor Laughton was gay would ...

He`s the only guy who intimidates me. [About her son, René-Charles coming to see her Las Vegas show for the first time.] (People Magazine, "The Power of Love" by Marisa Laudadio & Karen S. Schneider - 3 December 2007)
Celine Dion
[on his role as Charles Gunn on "Angel":] "When I change my lines, I just deliver them and wait for their reaction. I just kind of ad-lib sometimes and they`ll pull me back or they`ll just let it go. When they have a problem with it, they tell me. It`s no...
J. August Richards
[on his role as Charles Gunn on "Angel":] "What`s ironic is that I don`t think race ultimately had anything to do with me getting the part. When I auditioned, I heard that they were looking at white guys, Latino guys, Asian guys, so they didn`t know where...
J. August Richards
[on his role as Charles Gunn on "Angel":] "I don`t think my parents were too happy when I announced that I wanted to be an actor. And then when I told them I was starring in a show about vampires, they were like, `Couldn`t you at least get a role as a nic...
J. August Richards
[on his role as Charles Gunn on "Angel":] "Gunn is an activist, a renegade vampire hunter who leads his motley crew of fellow hunters on a personal crusade of execution for reasons that the audience is not yet aware of. He is a tormented soul and a lone r...
J. August Richards
(On playing bad guys) "I enjoy playing them. I find something human in them, with the exception of Looking for Mr. Goodbar. It was such a slimy character with no redeeming qualities. To me it was like playing Charles Manson. I had nightmares after I finis...
Tom Berenger
[on Charles Bronson] I don`t think reviews get to Charlie much, though, unless they`re especially personal. In the twenty-five years or so I`ve known him, he`s not changed much. He`s his own man. Stays pretty much to himself. If he cares what other people...
Richard Crenna
[when asked why he abandoned his Lonesome Luke character and that type of character] Charlie [Charles Chaplin] had the market cornered on that. He had it down to a science.
Harold Lloyd
[On the differences between his and Charles Chaplin`s characters] "Charlie`s tramp was a bum with a bum`s philosophy. Lovable as he was, he would steal if he got the chance. My little fellow was a working man and honest."
Buster Keaton
I would overhear fans say, `Look, there`s the ugly girl from Charles in Charge." - Josie Davis, on why going through puberty on television was extraordinarily painful
