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

Just as Jimmy Stewart and Tyrone Power get 50 percent of the profits, so do I.

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

I wish I were the type who could walk into a place and have everybody love me. But I'm not, and there's no use wishing

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

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

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