"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!"

(Claude Rains, nato William Claude Rains, attore; Londra, 10 agosto 1889 – Laconia, 30 maggio 1967)
