Spencer Tracy

I believe in hard work and clean living.

The camera never lies, but it sure can exaggerate.

Family is everything; the rest is just noise.

Acting isn't about being someone else; it's about being more yourself.

I've had a good run; wouldn't trade it for anything.

Directors are like generals; actors are the foot soldiers.

Faith keeps me going when the lights go out.

Never trust a man who doesn't drink; he's probably hiding something.

The theater taught me discipline; films taught me freedom.

Regret is a waste of time; learn and move on.

I don't chase awards; they find you if you're good.

Love is the hardest role to play convincingly.

Silence is the best response to stupidity.

Every role is a chance to grow.

Happiness is a good script and a better director.

I owe my career to persistence, not genius.

The human spirit is unbreakable if you believe.

Critics? They're just disappointed playwrights.

Acting is reacting; the rest is vanity.

Life's a stage, but don't forget the audience.
