PAUL NEWMAN “It’s simple. I don’t
give ’em.”
JAMES WOODS “I don’t understand
actors who don’t want to sign autographs.
You’re in a public service industry. If you
don’t want to sign autographs, then
become a computer programmer. What’s
your problem?”
GEORGE CLOONEY “Without fans, I
wouldn’t be where I am today. Of course I
sign autographs, gratefully.”
JACK NICHOLSON “I can’t sign for a
three-year-old girl who asks me for an
autograph at a baseball game because
then everybody else in that row is not
going to see the game. It’s a tough moment
for any human being. There’s nobody who
wants to reject a three-year-old girl, but
you have to do it.”
TOM HANKS “It’s not fans that bother
me, it’s autograph hounds who want to
make money off you by selling your
signature. They’re very rude people.”

SIGNING
AUTOGRAPHS
I BY SUSAN GRANGER
TALK ABOUT
HARRISON FORD “It’s often intrusive.
I like to go to a museum and look at the
pictures, not go to the museum and sign
autographs.”
TOBEY MAGUIRE “Sometimes it gets
too overwhelming and I run away.”
KIRSTEN DUNST “Why would you want
a human being’s name on a piece of
paper? It’s kind of stupid.”

people do with autographs?”
ANGELINA JOLIE “I’m flattered to be
asked for my signature, as long as it’s not
on a cheque.”
