I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I'll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.

I hear about stars being torn to pieces by fans. It never happened to me and I never saw it happen to anyone else.

I had only that one picture, Hitler, the Beast of Berlin, in which I had a part big enough to impress anyone. I tried for better roles over and over again.

I don't care how small the parts are, as long as they're good.

Being a good host offsets the deprivation and loneliness of my youth.

As long as my pictures go into theaters and we ask people to pay to see what I do on the screen, I should not object if customers want to know what kind of man I am.
