When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It's like a signature, a fingerprint.
My whole career, I was pretty much bald. So, people just got to know me as being a bald guy.
If you are going to be a big personality, you've got to have some kind of characteristic gimmick.
She is not truly beautiful but something about her draws the eye.
You got to have a gimmick in this got-to-have-a-gimmick world.
My most noticeable physical trait is, hands down, my hair. It's big, unruly and curly, and you can spot it from a mile away... literally.
It may be doubted whether any character can be named which is distinctive of a race and is constant.
I can wear a hat or take it off, but either way it's a conversation piece.
I have a funny name.
I have a Roman nose. It roams all over my face.
My distinguishing feature is the gap between my teeth. I had to wear a brace because my teeth used to stick out like guns from a fortress.
If you're betwixt and between, trust the one with red hair.
Even when I was a kid, I had this insane head of flaming hair. It looked like a wig.
It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
You gotta have a gimmick.
One thing everyone kind of found out about me was that my nostrils are heart-shaped. I'm not kidding you, they're heart-shaped.
I feel like the falsetto is my niche and my sound and something different.
Nothing wears clothes, but Man; nothing doth need But he to wear them.
I like that - the "you-ish" character.
There's something about the Irish that is remarkable.
My size is an asset to me. People write roles for me. If I was just another blond-haired, brown-eyed, 18-year-old actor, I'd be left unrecognized. People remember me.
The first thing my agent told me in 1959 was he said you have to have something recognizable that people will remember. “What are you? Do you have cleft in your chin? You have a Jimmy Stewart kind of talk?” And I thought I don’t know what I can give them that will be different.
There's no point having something worn on your body - that's a big ask - unless you can give people something they really couldn't get otherwise. It has to be qualitatively better for it to be worn.
The umlaut isn't on my birth certificate. I had this book as a child called Chloe and Maude, and there was an umlaut on the e, and I said, I want that! It's a little flair. Just to confuse people even more.
I knew that with a mouth like mine, I just hadda be a star or something.
