I do not like assassins, or men of low character.
Gene Hackman
I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.
Gene Hackman

Gene Hackman
If you look at yourself as a star, you've already lost something in the portrayal of any human being.
Gene Hackman

Gene Hackman
