Lee Marvin

I didn't get my hair cut for two movies, and it got a little long. I'm going back to a... not a crew cut. Back to, oh, about a Presbyterian length.

I was so overwhelmed years ago, when I was a kid, by 'All Quiet on the Western Front.' I think it was the second movie I ever saw. I never got over that one.

Tequila. Straight. There's a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won't go down. Then you know you've reached your limit.

I only make movies to finance my fishing.

I've never been able to accept any kind of discipline.

It was the Marines who taught me how to act. After that, pretending to be rough wasn't so hard.

I love Marlon Brando. Never seem him bad, just less good.

After a sheltered life, I went the other way. I wanted to prove how tough I was.

I once tried to figure out the first time I felt guilt, and it goes so far back that I might have been an inch long at the time.

As soon as people see my face on a movie screen, they knew two things: first, I'm not going to get the girl, and second, I'll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over.
