Greer Garson quotes

-- Greer Garson -

-- Greer Garson -

“When you can't wait for your ship to come in, you've got to row out to it.”
-- Greer Garson -
“I've been offered nymphomaniacs, kleptomaniacs, pyromaniacs, homicidal maniacs and just plain maniacs. I think producers felt that after playing a long series of noble and admirable characters there would be quite a lot of shock value in seeing me play something altogether different. But I prefer upbeat stories that send people out of the theater feeling better than they did coming in. It's my cup of tea.”
-- Greer Garson -
“If you're going to be typed, there are worse molds in which you can be cast.”
-- Greer Garson
