(on Marilyn Monroe) There were two entirely unrelated sides to Marilyn. You would not be far out if you described her as schizoid; the two people that she was could hardly have been more different. She was so adorable, so witty, such incredible fun and more physically attractive than anyone I could have imagined, apart from herself on the screen.
- Laurence OlivierI think you have to be schizoid three different ways to be an actor. You`ve got to be three different people. You have to be a human being. Then you have to be the character you`re playing. And on top of that you`ve got to be the guy sitting out there in Row 10, watching yourself and judging yourself. That`s why most of us are crazy to start with, or go nuts once we get into it. I mean, don`t you think it`s a pretty spooky way to earn a living?
- George C. Scott
