We have our factory, which is called a stage. We make a product, we color it, we title it and we ship it out in cans.
Meaning of the quote
Cary Grant, a famous American actor, is comparing his work as an actor to a factory. The stage is like the factory where actors "make" their "product" - the characters they play. They "color" or shape these characters, "title" or name them, and then "ship" or perform them before audiences, just like a factory makes and sends out its products.
