Sterling Price Holloway Jr. Quotes

• I’ve always loved the theater very much. I’ve always been in it. I hate being away from it. I’m very stubborn–I like to do what I want to do. And what I want to do most is theater.
• I didn’t like making silent movies. Perhaps it was because I was from the stage and accustomed to a completely different routine.
• I came to Hollywood at a bad time. The movies were in a state of turmoil. Sound was coming in and silents were going out. Nobody thought I was suitable for talkies.
• Walt came to me, and he’s such a stickler for voices, and said when you’re finished with what you’re doing today on Winnie the Pooh see what you can do with a snake because I can’t find the right voice for it. I thought, wouldn’t it be funny to have a snake with an aching back because it would be such a looong ache? (About how he became Kaa in The Jungle Book (1967)).
