“What kind of man is he? There’s grace in the line and color, but… it doesn’t emerge pure. It pushes at the edge of something still… tentative… unresolved, as if… somewhere in the man… there is still a key unturned.” “That’s quite an analysis.” “Not really. When you come to think of it, it sort of fits everybody, doesn’t it?”

– Seconds (1966) dir. John Frankenheimer

"I always consider my job just as someone working in an office. Past 5 P.M., I lead my very own existence far from the cameras. It's essential for an actor to clearly separate private life from work… essential for me, anyway."

Happy birthday, Rock Hudson!! Nov. 17, 1925 – Oct. 2, 1985
