Conrad Veidt Quotes

There must have been something in my nature - I believe, with all my heart, that I have conquered it now - which prevented me from being perfectly happy or making a woman perfectly happy Picture Quote #1

I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasn’t until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain Picture Quote #1

For me, half the joy of achieving has been the struggle and the fight, the pitting myself against the world and all its competition - and winning Picture Quote #1

Nothing seems to come up to your expectations. But nothing I had heard about Hollywood was enough Picture Quote #1

My birth neither shook the German Empire nor caused much of an upheaval in the home. It pleased mother, caused father a certain amount of pride and my elder brother the usual fraternal jealousy of a hitherto only son Picture Quote #1

I can see now that I should have been strong enough to conquer myself Picture Quote #1

An actor remembers his first piece of published praise. It is written on his heart Picture Quote #1

No, I was not born with a monocle in my eye Picture Quote #1

Looking back across the years, so many pictures flash on the screen of my memory that just as I begin to see one clearly, another slides in, blotting out the first, itself to be pushed aside by the next and the next and the next Picture Quote #1

What use is there for a biography of myself? I’m just a movie actor Picture Quote #1

So now it is time to disassemble the parts of the jigsaw puzzle or to piece another one together, for I find that, having come to the end of my story, my life is just beginning Picture Quote #1

My father died. It is still a deep regret to me this day that in choosing acting as my career I was forced to hurt him. He died too early to see I had done the right, the only thing Picture Quote #1

It is my greatest joy to live a really good part, even though it imposes great strain. An artist is tired but proud when he has created a great work of art. So it is with the actor who really lives a great role and is proud of the part he played Picture Quote #1

I wish, naturally to prevent the possibility that someone may write an accidental, superficial, incomplete and perhaps untrue picture of me Picture Quote #1

I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasn’t until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain Picture Quote #1

I turned down the first script offered to me, and the second. I lay on my back one day under an umbrella, in the garden, reading the third, and wondered why I had turned down the first Picture Quote #1

I think the motion picture industry is a stupid business and I despise acting the scenes in short snatches, one at a time. I hate this film work. I am disgusted with myself. On the stage I could never play a part unless I felt it with all my heart and soul Picture Quote #1

I have no illusions about my art. I am what the public made me and, consequently, I am not likely to forget my debt to them Picture Quote #1
