Growing up I was a total movie-holic, but I always wanted to play the role that Clark Gable was playing or Spencer Tracy was playing. I was really never interested in the parts that women were playing. I found the parts that guys were playing were so...
Macaulay Connor: You've got all the arrogance of your class, haven't you? Tracy Lord: What have classes to do with it? What do they matter except for the people in them? George comes from the so-called lower class, Dexter, the upper. Well? Macaulay C...
When I think of character actors, I think of Spencer Tracy; I think of Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall. When I was a young lad watching films, my eyes were on them - watching 'On the Waterfront,' my eyes are on Rod Steiger and Karl Malden, not on Brando.
I always hated when the studios just kind of said that anybody can act. You look at people like Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda - and I'm just talking about the male actors - there aren't a lot who can act. It's a very special talent, and I wish it were r...
The bravery of Stanley Kramer's 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' amounted to two Hollywood legends - Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy - telling the world that a black son-in-law is something they can live with, and so should you, especially if he lo...
Phil Wenneck: Tracy, it's Phil. Tracy Garner: Phil, where the hell are you guys? I'm freaking out. Phil Wenneck: Yeah, listen, uh... we fucked up. Tracy Garner: What are you talking about? Phil Wenneck: The bachelor party. The whole night. It's... Th...
Tracy Lord: I can't make you out at all now. Macaulay Connor: I thought I was easy. Tracy Lord: So did I. But you're not. You talk so big and tough and then you write like this. Which is which? Macaulay Connor: Both. I guess. Tracy Lord: No. No, I be...
Tracy Lord: [normal voice] Hello, Dexter. [lower voice] Tracy Lord: Hello, George. [high childish voice] Tracy Lord: Hello, Mike.
Tracy Lord: [Tracy and Mike have almost kissed. Both are very drunk] Has your mind taken hold again, dear professor? Macaulay Connor: Good thing, don't you agree? Tracy Lord: No, professor. Macaulay Connor: [angrily] Alright, lay off that "professor"...
Macaulay Connor: Oh Tracy darling... Tracy Lord: Mike... Macaulay Connor: What can I say to you? Tell me darling. Tracy Lord: Not anything - don't say anything. And especially not "darling."
George Kittredge: You're like some marvelous, distant, well, queen, I guess. You're so cool and fine and always so much your own. There's a kind of beautiful purity about you, Tracy, like, like a statue. Tracy Lord: George... George Kittredge: Oh, it...
Tracy Lord: How do I look? Seth Lord: Like a queen. Like a goddess. Tracy Lord: And do you know how I feel? Seth Lord: How? Tracy Lord: Like a human. Like a human being.
The Tracy Morgan you see is the Tracy Morgan in real life. He's a great guy but... man, is he a nut.
So what I say about Tracy is this: Tracy's big challenge is not having a Parkinson's patient for a husband. It's having me for a husband. I happen to be a Parkinson's patient.
Macaulay Connor: It can't be anything like love, can it? Tracy Lord: No, no, it can't be. Macaulay Connor: Would it be inconvenient? Tracy Lord: Terribly.
[Dexter has just proposed] Tracy Lord: Oh Dexter you're not doing it just to soften the blow? C. K. Dexter Haven: No. Tracy Lord: Nor to save my face? C. K. Dexter Haven: Oh, it's a nice little face. Tracy Lord: Oh Dexter, I'll be yar now, I promise ...
My voice is very distinct. People hear Tracy Morgan's voice, and they know Tracy Morgan right off the bat because I've been in their homes for so many years.
Tracy Lord: [a very drunk Tracy] My feet are made of clay. Made of clay, did you know? Good niiiggghhhttt little man!
Tracy Lord: Hello you. Macaulay Connor: Hello. Tracy Lord: You look fine. Macaulay Connor: I feel fine.
Tracy Lord: Dexter, would you mind doing something for me? C. K. Dexter Haven: Anything. What? Tracy Lord: Get the heck out of here.
Mrs. X: Henry, may I speak to you a minute? Over here. Did you and Mary have sexual intercourse? Henry Spencer: [stammering] Why? Mrs. X: Did you? Henry Spencer: Why are you asking me this question? Mrs. X: I have a very good reason, and now I want y...
