"In dreien seiner Filme habe ich gespielt: »Dr. med. Hiob Prätorius«, »Das Haus in Montevideo« und »Hokuspokus«. Zuerst hatte ich Hemmungen, die Rollen zu übernehmen, in denen ich den Meister selbst gesehen hatte, von dem eine solche Überlegenheit, ein derartiger Charme, aber auch eine so elegante Ironie ausging, daß es unmöglich schien, die Rollen anders zu gestalten, als er sie gespielt hatte."
