Acting is, to me now, artificial. Seeing people suffer is real. It couldn't be more real. Some people don't like to look at it in the face because it's painful. But if nobody does, then nothing gets done.

John Wayne is as tough as an old nut and as soft as a yellow ribbon.

I never tried to act until A Place in the Sun.
