"I never made big money in Hollywood. I was paid in hundreds, the stars got thousands. But I worked with some of the greatest directors in films, and some of the greatest writers. They gave me freedom to do what I can do best and that was gratifying."

(John Carradine, pseudonimo di Richmond Reed Carradine, attore; New York, 5 febbraio 1906 – Milano, 27 novembre 1988)
