Quotes
You could heave a brick out of the window and hit ten actors who could play my parts. I just happened to be on the right corner at the right time.

It was a family name on my mother's side, and I thought my own name Pratt, if I ever got known in the theatre might be unfortunate.

The Monster was the best friend I ever had. I'd been in Hollywood for ten years and no one had heard of me except my creditors. Then in 1931 I played the monster and a career was born. I'm truly indebted to the old Ghoul.
