Randolph Scott Quotes

They have been the mainstay of the industry ever since its beginning. And they have been good to me. Westerns are a type of picture which everybody can see and enjoy. Westerns always make money. And they always increase a star`s fan following.

(in 1962) All the old movies are turning up on television, and frankly, making pictures doesn`t interest me too much any more.

Frankly, I don`t like publicity. I always remember something that David Belasco said and had incorporated in the contracts of his stars. His theory was, "Never let yourself be seen in public unless they pay for it". To me, that makes sense. The most glamorous, the most fascinating star our business ever had was (Greta Garbo). Why? Because she kept herself from the public. Each member of the audience had his own idea of what she was really like. But take the other stars of today. There is no mystery about them. The public knows what kind of toothpaste they use, whether they sleep in men`s pajamas and every intimate fact of their lives. When I read publicity about them, I can tell just which press agent they employ.
