Quote of the Day, 1/16/07: Deborah Kerr

Yesterday Cary Grant, today his counterpart in one of the best all-time sappy movies (An Affair to Remember) -- Deborah Kerr. I like these quotes from Kerr. She seems spunky, which is how I always think of her.

I suppose the part nearest me is Laura Reynolds in Tea and Sympathy. Of course playwrite Bob Anderson didn't know that, but he wrote Laura Reynolds and Laura Reynolds happened to be me. It was the coming together of a part and an actress - the same attitude to life, a certain shyness in life, a deep compassion for people who are being persecuted for anything.

Personally, I think if a women hasn't met the right man by the time she's 24, she may be lucky.
...

I adore not being me. I'm not very good at being me. That's why I adore acting so much.
...

Years from now, when you talk about this, and you will, be kind.
...

I respect anyone who has to fight and howl for his decency.
