A man who tells lies, like me, merely hides the truth. But a man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it.
Often we'd secretly like to do the very things we discipline ourselves against. Isn't that true? Well, here in the movies I can be as mean, as wicked as I want to - and all without hurting anybody. Look at that lovely girl I've just shot!
I learn the lines and pray to God.
