Deborah Kerr Quotes
• Autobiographies are all the same -- it's always rags-to-riches or I-slept-with-so-and-so. Damned if I'm going to say that.
• All successful people these days seem to be neurotic. Perhaps we should stop being sorry for them and start being sorry for me - for being so confounded normal.
• Do you think it will ever take the place of night baseball?
• For Karen Holmes in From Here to Eternity
• Fred Zinnemann, on From Here To Eternity and The Sundowners really brings out of me, in a completely different way, an awful lot that perhaps I'd never have the courage to lay bare, to open up. He just knows how to get you to do it, to bring out some inner quality
• I am really rather like a beautiful Jersey cow, I have the same pathetic droop to the corners of my eyes.
• I came over here Hollywood
• I respect anyone who has to fight and howl for his decency
• I studied voice for three months to get rid of my English accent. I changed my hair to blonde. I knew I could be sexy if I had to.
• I suppose the part nearest me is Laura Reynolds in Tea and Sympathy. Of course playright Bob Anderson didn't know that, but he wrote Laura Reynolds and Laura Reynolds happened to be me. It was the coming together of a part and an actress - the same attitude to life, a certain shyness in life, a deep compassion for people who are being persecuted for anything.
• Personally, I think if a women hasn't met the right man by the time she's 24, she may be lucky.
• They need to understand they have to do something post secondary. Work is inevitable. They have to plan early.
• When you're young, you just go banging about, but you're more sensitive as you grow older.
• Years from now, when you talk about this, and you will, be kind.
