When I appear on the screen, I’m playing myself. It’s harder to play yourself. I pretended to be a certain kind of man on screen, and I became that man in life. I became me. But to play yourself — your true self — is the hardest thing in the world to do. Watch people at a party. They’re playing themselves like everything — but nine times out of ten the image of themselves they adopt is the wrong one. Adopt the true image of yourself, acquire a technique to project it, and the public will give you its allegiance. —Cary Grant
