Telly Savalas

“I came from a tough neighborhood. I used to be a 'dirty Greek.'”

“We're all born bald, baby.”

“I'm a proud Greek. I carry my Hellenism like a badge of merit.”

“I was born with a romantic nature, and I'll carry it to my grave.”

“I'm a romantic realist. I knew I would become a star, just as I know some day the bubble will burst.”
