On playing a part
“As an actor I prefer to play parts that are not me. The hardest thing in the world is to play yourself. There are people who do it very well. In fact, the major film studios were all founded on such people, like Clark Gable and James Stewart. James Stewart told me once that he was encouraged to exaggerate the mannerisms he already had because that was what made him box-office."—Actor and comedian Bernard Braden, in the 8.8. C. programme “Guest of the Week.”
