Mad About the Boy

Surviving James Dean by William Bast

I'm playing the damn bongos and the world can go to hell.

QUOTES I
QUOTES II

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

The only greatness for man is immortality.

They say you can't get it on with a girl in a Porsche. That's bullshit. If you don't believe me, ask Natalie [Wood].

There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning.

I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.

I think the prime reason for living in this world is discovery.

When an actor plays a scene exactly the way a director orders, it isn't acting. It's following instructions. Anyone with the physical qualifications can do that.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication.

"James Dean and bird"

I don't even want to be just the best. I want to grow so tall that nobody can reach me.

To my way of thinking, an actor’s course is set even before he’s out of the cradle.

I'm a serious minded and intense little devil - terribly gauche and so tense that I don't see how people can stay in the same room as me. I know I couldn't tolerate myself.

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

Marlene Said...

A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.

Grumbling is the death of love.

I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

I had no desire to be a film actress, to always play somebody else, to be always beautiful with somebody constantly straightening out your every eyelash. It was always a big bother to me.

I'm worth more dead than alive. Don't cry for me after I'm gone; cry for me now.

In America, sex is an obsession. In other parts of the world, it's a fact.

It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.

The weak are more likely to make the strong weak than the strong are likely to make the weak strong.
