"England has been praised for turning out intelligent, adult pictures whereas Hollywood has been severely censured for turning out junk. I don't think criticism is a valid one because, in defense of Hollywood, we have censorship problems England doesn't have. I'm not speaking of the license to do sexy stuff.

A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket." Da When woman is boss, 30 gennaio 1926.

"I never had a dramatic lesson, never formally studied diction, never had anybody to teach me timing. I just picked it all up as I went along. It's my belief that acting's essentially a quality within a person and not a mere bag of tricks and mannerisms to be exhibited externally."

(John Hodiak, attore cinematografico, teatrale e radiofonico; Pittsburgh, 16 aprile 1914 – Los Angeles, 19 ottobre 1955)
