"It was the only avenue of escape I had from myself. It's never been difficult to subjugate myself to a part because I don't like myself too well. Acting was, in every sense, my means of survival."

(George Campbell Scott, attore, regista, produttore cinematografico e il primo a rifiutare un Premio Oscar nel 1971; Wise, 18 ottobre 1927 – Westlake Village, 22 settembre 1999)
