One of the flag-bearers of the golden phase of Hollywood, the name of Cary Grant stands tall among the list of ‘All Time Hollywood Greats.’ Born and raised in England, Cary started his career at a young age with theatre troops and toured around the country. Two times Academy Award nominee, Cary started in Hollywood in the 30s with screwball comedy films and later moved up the ladder to become an ‘Alfred Hitchcock Actor.’

Known for his light heartedness, style, and punctuality, he became a role model both in life as well as career. Critics mentioned him as one of the rare actors who did not take himself seriously and presented us with some of the most endearing films Hollywood has ever produced. His quotes on love, life, Hollywood, films and fame still continue to inspire and entertain his admirers. We present to you a list of his best quotes lifted from his interviews, articles and talk show appearances.
