It has been written that I am rude to autograph seekers. That’s not true. I am rude only to rude autograph seekers.-Cary Grant in his autobiography, Archie Leach
Still, there are compensations, and the ceaseless daily bother is forgotten when occasionally some considerate person comes quietly alongside me to say “Mr. G., I just want to thank you on behalf of my family and myself for the many happy hours you’ve given us.” I want to embrace him or her before they slip from my view, leaving me aglow and breathing easily again.
