[on Spencer Tracy] What an actor should be is exemplified, for me, by him. I like the reality of his acting. It`s so honest and seems so effortless, even though what Tracy does is the result of damn hard work and extreme concentration. Actually, the ultim...

Richard Widmark
[on Burt Reynolds] It`s the man`s tremendous wit that just keeps coming across. Listen, there is no acting style. Most people just play themselves. Spencer Tracy used to say to me after a scene, "Did I ham that one up?" If I said yes, he`d say, "Okay, let...
Myrna Loy
We live in an age of mediocrity. Stars today are not the same stature as Bogie (Humphrey Bogart), James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart (James Stewart).
Lauren Bacall
I`m a Spencer Tracy-type actor. His idea was to be on time, know your words, hit your marks and tell the truth. Most every actor tries to make it something it isn`t [or] looks for the easy way out. I don`t think acting is that difficult if you can put you...
James Garner
Once you commit, you commit. You can`t hold back. We all knew that the only way we would pull this [movie] off was for everyone to give everything they had. I could not hold back. On playing "Tracy" in the movie Thirteen (2003).
Evan Wood
Spencer Tracy was the first actor I`ve seen who could just look down into the dirt and command a scene. He played a set-up with Robert Ryan that way. He`s looking down at the road and then he looks at Ryan at just the precise, right minute. I tell you, Ro...
Ernest Borgnine
In our film profession you may have [Clark Gable`s] looks, [Spencer Tracy`s] art, [Marlene Dietrich`s] legs or [Elizabeth Taylor`s] violet eyes, but they don`t mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage.
Frank Capra
I admire people like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando, Spencer Tracy, who seem to be so very real-I don`t know how they do it. When I was young I admired Leslie Howard enormously, in films like The Scarlet Pimpernel, Gone With the Wind, and Pygmal...
Max Sydow
A character actor to me was someone who played a bunch of different roles versus a leading man or supporting actor, I wanted to be a character actor and do good parts. The guys that inspired me were Spencer Tracy, Robert Duvall, Albert Finney and Michael ...
Joe Pantoliano
What do we need another galoot for? We`ve already got Wallace Beery -- Louis B. Mayer, upon finding out that Irving Thalberg had hired Tracy to join MGM.
Spencer Tracy
Where can we find the great actors we had yesteryear, guys like Spencer Tracy and Gary Cooper and Edward G. Robinson? You know, I was talking to Lee Marvin the other day and we agreed that we were the last of a breed. We`re the last who had the opportunit...
Ernest Borgnine
There was that very credible virility of guys like Spencer Tracy or Humphrey Bogart. I don`t think that I could one day resemble them, but in life and in movies I profoundly admired Bogart, both personally and professionally.
Lee Marvin
[on Spencer Tracy] The guy`s good. There`s nobody in the business who can touch him, and you`re a fool to try. And the bastard knows it, so don`t fall for that humble stuff!
Clark Gable
The songwriters decided to give Link a cool, upbeat, Elvis-style number, and it`s the perfect time for it in the movie. `Ladies Choice` establishes the connection between Tracy and Link. And it`s the kind of number you need in a sixties musical: the rock ...
Zac Efron
Although she was beautiful in her films, they couldn`t quite capture all of her. Fortunately, I did, even if it was late in my life. - Spencer Tracy.
Gene Tierney
When I did that interview with Hepburn, the only ground rule was, you did not discuss Spencer Tracy. Spencer Tracy`s widow is still alive, and she respected that.
Morley Safer

Morley Safer
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman`s part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.
Jack Nicholson
We will have to learn to play without him. But we`ve got guys who can get the job done. We`ve got a lot of firepower that can help us win games without Tracy.
Ann Coker
Spencer Tracy was a man who did very much what I do on a set, and that is, he comes down and he does his job, and then he goes back to his dressing room.
William Shatner
People like Spencer Tracy held up because they had the background originally, but to this day they never have changed Mr. Gable`s role, or most of them.
Jackie Cooper
Paul Tracy is a great driver and a tough competitor. You know when you have beat him in a race, you have beaten one of the best drivers in the world.
Justin Wilson
On this team, we`re used to having Tracy and Yao there to make shots at the end. We`re here for a reason, we`re here because we know how to make shots. It`s all about doing it when it comes down to it.
