So shines a good deed... in a weary world.

To match the shoes with the jacket is fey. To match the shoes with the hat is taste.

My basic mistake in 'The World's Greatest Lover' was that I made the leading character a neurotic kook and sent him to Hollywood. I should have made him a perfectly normal, sane, ordinary person, and sent him to Hollywood. The audience identifies with the lead character.

My favorite author is Anton Chekhov, not so much for the plays but for his short stories, and I think he was really my tutor.

Which one of us, anywhere in the world, doesn't yearn to be believed when the audience is watching?

What did you expect? 'Welcome, sonny?' 'Make yourself at home?' 'Marry my daughter?' You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know . . . morons.

I'm in complete remission. I'm alive and well.
