Single men never have any problems. I suppose that the public builds some kind of idea from what they've seen of me on the screen.

Marilyn is a kind of ultimate. She is uniquely feminine. Everything she does is different, strange, and exciting, from the way she talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso. She makes a man proud to be a man.

I'm no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me.

I don't want a lot of strangers looking down at my wrinkles and my big fat belly when I'm dead.

This power that I'm supposed to have over women was never noticed when I was a stage actor on Broadway. I don't know when I got it. And by God, I can't explain it.

Method actors are like hams.

When it's over it's over. No questions, no tears, no farewell kisses.
