James Dean

Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse.

Studying cows, chickens, and pigs is a prerequisite to being a good actor.

To me, acting is the most logical thing a person can do.

I don't want to be a star. I want to be an actor.

The satisfaction that I get out of my work is the satisfaction of doing a good job.

I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that's not easy.

Only the gentle are truly strong.

You can't change a leopard's spots.

I have a deep respect for the farmer.

Acting is like roller skating. Once you know how to do it, the ball is in your court.

I want everything. I want to try it all.

The game of life is never a tie.

Trust yourself but still check your work.

I like to drive fast.

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the colors that are in life.

My hobby, or what you might call my interest, is racing.

I think the one thing this country needs is good, strong men.

To know a man, you have to walk a mile in his shoes.

I am a fool for a pretty face.

The only difference between me and the guy down the street is that I got lucky.
