I'd come out of the army after five years as a medic. I was a medical administrator and we ran hospitals, and I was a Captain in the Army at the end, in 1945.

I love to tell stories and this is my way of getting them down on paper.

I always end up being the evil one, and I wouldn't hurt a fly.

If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?

But I went to the University of Texas in the 30s, and while there I learned to ride. Mostly polo ponies.

Everyone thinks acting is easy. It's far from easy, but it's the most gratifying thing I do.

I never dreamed I would do Westerns.
