Joel McCrea

I turned down as many roles that I thought were beyond my abilities as I did ones I thought weren't good enough.

I don't believe in anti-heroes. Duke Wayne played a mean guy but never an anti-hero.

People say I'm a one-note actor, but the way I figure it, those other guys are just looking for that one right note.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I regret things all the time. I've never regretted not saying something. I've only regretted saying something.
