The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Pernell Roberts
- I don’t have the psychological stamina to last under artistic compromises over a prolonged period of time. I get hostile and vindictive. It wears me down.
- I was so unhappy during the last months on ‘Bonanza’ I was really neurotic. I was anti-social.
- When I finish a movie, I get in my camper and drive around the country.
- As we get older, we become more political in terms of survival. We realize a certain amount of cunning is necessary and that you just end up a victim when you are totally honest in an environment where those around you arent. It’s a matter of remaining true to yourself while continuing to move forward.
- I work when, and where I want to.
- As you decline in years, you decline in the marketplace.
- I feel I am an aristocrat in my field of endeavor. My being part of ‘Bonanza’ was like Isaac Stern sitting in with Lawrence Welk.
- If you’re locked into a philosophy of nickels and dimes, then you have a pretty limited approach to life. I don’t need a lot of money to live with dignity.
- I wanted to work strictly as a freelance actor, and that’s the way it turned out.
- Stuck as Adam Cartwright, I was only able to use about one-tenth of my ability.
