I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.

Wonder is our need today, not information.

I don't remember anything anybody said in any Jack Ford picture. Nothing happens except action.

I was both very successful and very left; the living demonstration of how you could be on the left and still be in the gossip columns and be envied for the money you made.
