I'm working myself to death.

I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then

I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I'll leave the scenery chewing to someone else

Nobody's strong enough to stand up under a flood of weak material.

I'd rather be David Ladd's father than Alan Ladd any day

My parents were so poor when I was a kid, I never went anywhere. I take our youngsters with us because I don't know anything that teaches them so much.

Being a good host offsets the deprivation and loneliness of my youth
