I am a clown, just without the painted smile.

I made about 28 movies, and I think about five of them were good.

I tell the person I won't take a picture or sign the autograph, but I will shake their hand. That kind of personal touch is all they're really seeking.

I have three daughters. I wanted them to be raised where there are real seasons and where everyone their age wasn't trying to get into movies.

The fact was, Ford kept stumbling around. I didn't want him in the White House. I wanted Carter in, and I had a forum of 20 million people watching.

Television doesn't make stars. It's the written media, the press, that makes stars.

Last good pratfall I did, I broke bones in both hands. I still feel it when people shake my hand.
