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

I don't act to live. I live to act.

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

My first Western was called The Magnificent Seven.

From the age of four or five. I went to see a lot of Westerns then. But it was silent movies and I loved everything that happened then.

I never dreamed I would do Westerns.

I've never lost my appetite for acting; it's innovative and challenging.
