The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Ernest Borgnine
- It was my mom who told me, “Ernie, if you make even one person happy with your smile or a funny thing you do every day, you’ll have accomplished a great deal.” And that’s all I’ve ever tried to do.
- Three-quarters of producers don’t even know who I am. The other quarter thinks I am dead.
- Writers used to make such wonderful pictures without all that swearing and cursing. And now it seems that you can’t say three words without cursing. And I don’t think that’s right.
- If John Wayne were alive, he’d be rolling over in his grave!
- I think we all have the urge to be clowns, whether we know it or not.
- I don’t chart out the life histories of the people I play. If I did, I’d be in trouble. I work with my heart and my head, and naturally, emotions follow.
- We’ve all got a lot of catching up to do. I’m still learning how to act, for god’s sake. When I see these old-timers on Turner Classic Movies, I still get ideas, you know. That’s where you really learn to act. If you really see some of these old boys working it and you say to yourself, “My God, if I could really do that, that would be wonderful,”

- We got together, and Bruce Willis was just a sweet animal, a sweetheart. I tell you, right down to the core, he’s just a real professional, a real gentleman, and I must say I’m so very happy for him that he’s got a heck of a good film.
- A lot of people forget that today. They come to the point where you walk on a set, and the first thing you know, you’re looking at the sound man, and you’re saying to yourself, “How the hell can they get any sound when nobody is talking?” They get all mumbly. You can’t make out what they’re saying! And you’re 6 feet away from them! Whereas in the old-time movies, you hear them, you understand every word they’re saying, and you don’t have to put on your loudspeaker.
