Conrad Veidt Quotes
After my mother died, I found, a little book of hers which recorded everything I had ever done, how I had done it, and how proud she was of her son Conrad. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
An actor remembers his first piece of published praise. It is written on his heart. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
For me, half the joy of achieving has been the struggle and the fight, the pitting myself against the world and all its competition - and winning. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
Have you ever walked late at night through a forest when you are first in love? - Conrad Veidt Quotes
I can see now that I should have been strong enough to conquer myself. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
I have no illusions about my art. I am what the public made me and, consequently, I am not likely to forget my debt to them. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
I think the motion picture industry is a stupid business and I despise acting the scenes in short snatches, one at a time. I hate this film work. I am disgusted with myself. On the stage I could never play a part unless I felt it with all my heart and soul. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
I turned down the first script offered to me, and the second. I lay on my back one day under an umbrella, in the garden, reading the third, and wondered why I had turned down the first. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
I used to think then that I was Bohemian, but I know now that I am not. I prefer order and precision to untidiness and looseness. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
I was appalled at the amount of study necessary in order to qualify in medicine, and gradually my desire was blunted by a keener - and secret - wish to become an actor. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasnt until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain. - Conrad Veidt Quotes

In the middle of my third Hollywood picture The Magician, the earthquake hit Hollywood. Not the real earthquake. Just the talkies. - Conrad Veidt Quotes

It is precisely as though I were possessed by some other spirit when I enter on a new task of acting, as though something within me presses a switch and my own consciousness merges into some other, greater, more vital being. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
Looking back across the years, so many pictures flash on the screen of my memory that just as I begin to see one clearly, another slides in, blotting out the first, itself to be pushed aside by the next and the next and the next. - Conrad Veidt Quotes

My father died. It is still a deep regret to me this day that in choosing acting as my career I was forced to hurt him. He died too early to see I had done the right, the only thing. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
No, I was not born with a monocle in my eye. - Conrad Veidt Quotes
