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

I'm working myself to death.

I think any movie star who refuses autographs has a hell of a nerve

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

I was never trained for anything

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

Maybe I thought too much about picking up the money and not enough about the really good parts.
