These kids only want to talk about acting method and motivation. in my day all we talked about was screwing and overtime. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
I loathe the telephone - vile, shrill-voiced intruder. i'd never answer it at all if I didn't feel I might be missing something: a million-pound offer from a film company or Robert Mitchum asking me out to lunch. I hate the element of uncertainty - you never know if it's going to be a friend or a foe on the line. I wish they'd invent a telephone which turned green like a breath-test when it was an enemy ringing, so I needn't answer it. ~ Jilly Cooper
Robert Mitchum quotes by Jilly Cooper
Let's see, he had told me one night at our hotel's bar, I've been beaten to death with brass knuckles by Robert Mitchum, knifed in the back by Ernest Borgnine, shot in the head by Frank Sinatra, strangled by James Coburn, ~ Viet Thanh Nguyen
Robert Mitchum quotes by Viet Thanh Nguyen
Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
The people who can do you the most damage are the ones who are closest to you. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
I never will believe there is such a thing as a great actor. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
I kept the same suit for six years and the same dialogue. They just changed the title of the picture and the leading lady. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
The only effect that I ever noticed from smoking marijuana was a sort of mild sedative, a release of tension when I was overworking. It never made me boisterous of quarrelsome. If anything, it calmed me and reduced my activity. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
I kept thinking of an old Robert Mitchum cowboy movie where he goes back to see the farmhouse where he was born and finds the house falling apart and an old man living in it by himself. "Lonely place," Robert Mitchum says. The old man says, "Nothing wrong with a lonely place as long as it's private. That's why I never married. Marriage is lonely, but it ain't private." That was always my most intense fear about getting married: When everything sucked and I was by myself, I thought, Well, at least I don't have another miserable person to worry about. I figured if you gave up your private place and it still turns out to be lonely, you're just screwed. ~ Rob Sheffield
Robert Mitchum quotes by Rob Sheffield
I've still got the same attitude I had when I started. I haven't changed anything but my underwear. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
The only difference between me and my fellow actors is that I've spent more time in jail. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
I never take any notice of reviews-unless a critic has thought up some new way of describing me. That old one about my lizard eyes and anteater nose and the way I sleep my way through pictures is so hackneyed now. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
Movies bore me; especially my own. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
No wonder I want to be Robert Mitchum: big, strong, super-cool, with those Freon eyes of his. That's who I was pretending to be a minute ago - Robert Mitchum in Out of the Past. - Ben ~ Ron Koertge
Robert Mitchum quotes by Ron Koertge
There just isn't any pleasing some people. The trick is to stop trying. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
How do I keep fit? I lay down a lot. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
This is not a tough job. You read a script. If you like the part and the money is O.K., you do it. Then you remember your lines. You show up on time. You do what the director tells you to do. When you finish, you rest and then go on to the next part. That's it. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
After Natalie [Wood] and I got back from our honeymoon, I began The Hunters, with Robert Mitchum, directed by Dick Powell. I adored both of them. Powell was one of the great guys of all time, and Mitchum and I became fast friends. He insisted that I call him "Mother Mitchum." One day we cooked up a juvenile practical joke - we hired a girl to sit on a bench at lunchtime without any underpants on. We were in Arizona, at an Air Force base, and from the reaction you'd have thought the men of the United States Air Force had never seen a woman's private parts before. As word spread, we gradually brought the entire base to a halt. The fact that it was juvenile didn't make it any less funny; actually, it made it funnier. ~ Robert Wagner
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Wagner
I never changed anything, except my socks and my underwear. And I never did anything to glorify myself or improve my lot. I took what came and did the best I could with it. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
thunder should have rumbled in a Robert Mitchum sky that promised far worse before long. I should have seen tree branches whipping. Heard the plash of drops on stone, sprung shutters whapbapbapping. But the gods had decided to turn on the sun and set it in a Spielberg sky with a thumbs-up sign from Disney. Hello to San Francisco, where the party never stops. ~ Reb MacRath
Robert Mitchum quotes by Reb MacRath
I started out to be a sex fiend, but I couldn't pass the physical. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
Stars today are just masturbation images. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
No matter what you do, do your best at it. If your going to be a bum, be the best bum there is. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
People think I have an interesting walk. Hell, I'm just trying to hold my gut in. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
Sure I was glad to see John Wayne win the Oscar I'm always glad to see the fat lady win the Cadillac on TV, too. ~ Robert Mitchum
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Mitchum
Prior to the monotheistic Yahweh, the gods made sense, in that they had familiar, if supra-human appetites - they didn't just want a lamb shank, they wanted the best lamb shank, wanted to seduce all the wood nymphs, and so on. But the early Jews invented a god with none of those desires, who was so utterly unfathomable, unknowable, as to be pants-wettingly terrifying. So even if His actions are mysterious, when He intervenes you at least get the stress-reducing advantages of attribution - it may not be clear what the deity is up to, but you at least know who is responsible for the locust swarm or the winning lottery ticket. There is Purpose lurking, as an antidote to the existential void. ~ Robert M. Sapolsky
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert M. Sapolsky
Lincoln was known to have walked miles to borrow books, to get the most rudimentary form of education. So what do we do on his birthday? We close the schools! ~ Robert Orben
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Orben
As an opener, I'd like to state that elves are certainly NOT cliché. It doesn't matter if they all have pointy ears, or they all live a long time, or even if they all like forests. It doesn't matter if they're short or tall or both. It doesn't matter if they're related to forest spirits or even angels. Regardless of how many elves are like one another or how many elves appear in how many books, elves are NOT cliché.

Why?

Well, for one, an elf is a creature. How can a creature be a cliché? Is a human cliché? They certainly do appear in a lot of books! How about dragons? Now there's a popular subject! Are dragons cliché as well? Well what about vampires too? Or werewolves? Or bats? Or rabbits? Or mice? Or owls? Or crows? Cats?? ~ Robert Fanney
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Fanney
Bin Laden was constantly revolving in his mind the fact that he had got rid of the Russians; therefore, the Americans can be got rid of, too. And where better than in the country where he knows how to fight? ~ Robert Fisk
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Fisk
There were always five things that needed doing immediately and ten that should have been done yesterday. ~ Robert Jordan
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Jordan
Heaven: it's better than a chocolate bar. ~ Robert Stackpole
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Stackpole
A mere 7% of employees today fully understand their company's business strategies and what's expected of them in order to help achieve company goals. ~ Robert S. Kaplan
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert S. Kaplan
There is something about nature out of control that touches a primal terror. We are used to believing that we're the masters of our domain, and that God has given us this earth to rule over. We need this illusion like a good night-light. The truth is more fearsome: we are as frail as young trees in tornadoes, and our beloved homes are one flood away from driftwood. We plant our roots in trembling earth, we live where mountains rose and fell and prehistoric seas burned away in mist. We and the towns we have built are not permanent; the earth itself is a passing train. When you stand in muddy water that is rising toward your waist and you hear people shouting against the darkness and see their figures struggling to hold back the currents that will not be denied, you realize the truth of it: we will not win, but we cannot give up. ~ Robert McCammon
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert McCammon
A child should always say what's true, And speak when he is spoken to, And behave mannerly at table: At least as far as he is able. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Tea Partiers hate government more than they hate the national debt. They refuse to reduce that debt with tax increases, even with tax increases on the wealthy, because a tax increase doesn't reduce the size of government. ~ Robert Reich
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Reich
Quality is better seen up at the timberline than here obscured by smoky windows and oceans of words, and he sees that what he is talking about can never really be accepted here because to see it one has to be free of social authority and this is an institution of social authority. Quality for sheep is what the shepherd says. And if you take a sheep and put it up at the timberline at night when the wind is roaring, that sheep will be panicked half to death and will call and call until the shepherd comes, or comes the wolf. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
the person with the ability, knowledge, or creativity to solve problems will see more opportunities than ever. ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert T. Kiyosaki
I like white wine when it's young and vigorous. I don't think you should cellar white wine at all, unless it's white Burgundy, and definitely not nonvintage Champagne. ~ Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The key to enjoying the moment is to always carry a list of Things I Gotta Do That Can Wait. ~ Robert Breault
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Breault
In practice, a good deal of the outcomes produced by the market reflect nothing more than luck - good or bad. ~ Robert Kuttner
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Kuttner
We have at last ascertained that miracles can be perfectly understood; that there is nothing mysterious about them; that they are simply transparent falsehoods. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
I think that everyone who took part has always been grateful for it. ~ Robert Fitzgerald
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Fitzgerald
Now that we've got the whole story," he said solemnly, "now you can panic. ~ Robert Asprin
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Asprin
Open my heart and you will see
Graved inside of it, "Italy". ~ Robert Browning
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Browning
Properly conducted scientific studies ... give us a pretty good idea of when something is likely to be correct. To me, pretty good is a linguistic statistic that falls somewhere in between more likely than not and beyond a reasonable doubt, et avoides the pitfalls arising from the belief in complete objectivity. ~ Robert A. Burton
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert A. Burton
We've seen several of these oscillations just in the last decade or so since the web became prominent. At first we thought all the computer power would be in server farms, and the browsers would be stupid. Then we started putting applets in the browsers. But we didn't like that, so we moved dynamic content back to the servers. But then we didn't like that, so we invented Web 2.0 and moved lots of processing back into the browser with Ajax and JavaScript. We went so far as to create whole huge applications written to execute in the browsers. And now we're all excited about pulling that JavaScript back into the server with Node. ~ Robert C. Martin
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert C. Martin
Summit meetings tend to be like panda matings. The expectations are always
high, and the results usually disappointing. ~ Robert Orben
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Orben
My life till now seems to have been fairly empty, and the certainty that it will remain empty gives a feeling of endlessness, a feeling which tells one to go to sleep, and to do only the most unavoidable things. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Walser
Never be put off by your target's anger; it is a sure sign of enslavement. ~ Robert Greene
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Greene
A spring sun was shining on the rue St. Honore, as I ran down the church steps. On one corner stood a barrow full of yellow jonquils, pale violets from the Riviera, dark Russian violets, and white Roman hyacinths in a golden cloud of mimosa. The street was full of Sunday pleasure-seekers. I swung my cane and laughed with the rest. Someone overtook and passed me. He never turned, but there was the same deadly malignity in his white profile that there had been in his eyes. I watched him as long as I could see him. His lithe back expressed the same menace; every step that carried him away from me seemed to bear him on some errand connected with my destruction.

I was creeping along, my feet almost refusing to move. There began to dawn in me a sense of responsibility for something long forgotten. It began to seem as if I deserved that which he threatened: it reached a long way back - a long, long way back. It had lain dormant all these. years: it was there though, and presently it would rise and confront me. But I would try to escape; and I stumbled as best I could into the rue de Rivioli, across the Place de la Concorde and on to the Quai. I looked with sick eyes upon the sun, shining through the white foam of the fountain, pouring over the backs of the dusky bronze river-gods, on the far-away Arc, a structure of amethyst mist, on the countless vistas of grey stems and bare branches faintly green. Then I saw him again coming down one of the chestnut alleys of the Cours ~ Robert W. Chambers
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert W. Chambers
It looked as if a night of dark intent was coming, and not only a night, an age. Someone had better be prepared for rage ... ~ Robert Frost
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Frost
I hold that a man should strive to the uttermost for his life's set prize. ~ Robert Browning
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Browning
No president is well-served by groupthink or by everybody singing from the same sheet of music they think he's on. ~ Robert M. Gates
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert M. Gates
If you have ever seen the play Peter Pan you will remember how the pirate chief was always making his dying speech because he was afraid that possibly when the time came for him to die he might not have time to get it off his chest. It is much the same with me, and so, although I am not at this moment dying, I shall be doing so one of these days and I want to send you a parting word of goodbye.

Remember, it is the last you will ever hear from me, so think it over.

I have had a most happy life and I want each one of you to have as happy a life too.

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life. Happiness doesn't come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy, so that you can be useful and so can enjoy life when you are a man.

Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one.

But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn come to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best. "Be Prepared" in this way, to live happy and ~ Robert Baden-Powell
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Baden-Powell
With comics, you've got to develop some kind of shorthand. You can't make every drawing look like a detailed etching. The average reader actually doesn't want all that detail; it interferes with the flow of the reading process. ~ Robert Crumb
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Crumb
Angels began shining when they achieved discipline. ~ Robert Bly
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Bly
No writer must be measured by a word or paragraph. He is to be measured by his work - by the tendency, not of one line, but by the tendency of all. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
The doctrine that future happiness depends upon belief is monstrous. It is the infamy of infamies. The notion that faith in Christ is to be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason, observation and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for refutation, and can be relieved only by that unhappy mixture of insanity and ignorance, called 'faith. ~ Robert G. Ingersoll
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert G. Ingersoll
Idleness does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formualries of the ruling class. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Overhead, the wild huntsman of the storm passed continuously in one blare of mingled noises; screaming wind, straining timber, lashing rope's end, pounding block and bursting sea contributed; and I could have thought there was at times another, a more piercing, a more human note, that dominated all, like the wailing of an angel; I could have thought I knew the angel's name, and that his wings were black. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Fear not the path of Truth for the lack of People walking on it. ~ Robert F. Kennedy
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert F. Kennedy
G.W.F. Hegel. "He's perfect," Weishaupt wrote ... "Unlike Kant, who makes sense only in German, this man doesn't make sense in any language. ~ Robert Anton Wilson
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
To trust fate to be kind is a fool's lot, and yields a fool's results. ~ Robert J. Crane
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert J. Crane
I'm actually a lot happier because I work as a teacher; more than just a capitalist making money for myself. ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
When at the consecration the priest moves into the mode of first-person quotation, he is not speaking in his own person but in the person of Jesus - and that's why those words change the elements. ~ Robert E. Barron
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert E. Barron
Sorrow, the heart must bear,
Sits in the home of each, conspicuous there.
Many a circumstance, at least,
Touches the very breast.
For those
Whom any sent away,
he knows:
And in the live man's stead,
Armor and ashes reach
The house of each. ~ Robert Browning
Robert Mitchum quotes by Robert Browning
