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

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I never fail to feel let down when I see myself on the screen.

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

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

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.

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