Ronald Colman

“The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.”

“My advice to young actors is, 'Don't be an actor. Be a star.'”

“If I were a younger man, I would write a book about the use of the voice in acting, and I would call it 'The Other Ninety Percent'.”

“To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a while, this gets a little boring.”

“The microphone is a great friend. It's a friend that saves you and it's a friend that captures the subtleties of the human voice that the stage can never capture.”

“An actor's life is a long-distance run, not a sprint.”

“If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still a schmuck.”

“The first great requisite for an actor is to be shameless. If you have that, the rest is easy.”
