- [on working with Gary Cooper in Der General starb im Morgengrauen (1936)] For three days I acted rings around him. I've got him stopped. Against my acting he can do nothing. So I look at the rushes. On the screen I am there. Everybody else is there. But what do I see? Nothing! Nothing, that is, except Gary Cooper. He isn't doing anything at all, but he's taking the scenes away from me.
- Either the camera likes you, or it doesn't like you.
