My first Western was called The Magnificent Seven.

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

I've learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.

I was an original member of the Actors' Studio.

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.

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

Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck.
