I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

I was an original member of the Actors' Studio.

I always wanted to tell stories and act.

I met my wife and, for the next ten years, we did no films at all. She did the first movie and then I did several after. My first movie was written by Tennessee Williams and directed by [Elia] Kazan and was called Baby Doll.

My wife says that stage acting is like being on a tightrope with no net, and being in the movies, there is a net - because you stop and go over it again. It's very technical and mechanical. On stage you're on your own.

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

Fifty million dollars is not to be sneezed at. Of course, I never catch cold.
