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

I'm the most insecure guy in Hollywood. If you had it good all your life, you figure it can't ever get bad, but when you had it bad, you wonder how long a thing like this will last

I'm no good with words but I'll find ways from time to time to show you how grateful I am.

I know what's good for me. I can't play black or gray. I can't be a villain or anything close to one. I have to play white

I have the face of an ageing choirboy and the build of an undernourished featherweight. If you can figure out my success on the screen you're a better man than I.

I've always had a great respect for the picture business. It's been good to me

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