I look at scripts as good or bad. If it's bad, it better pay a lot of money.

I was a hangover of that era where they’d say “Take off that medal! Is that a St. Christopher medal? You’re going to lose your audience with that.”

The truth of it is that women are far more logical than men.

I never took the work less than serious, my work ethic is ingrained in me. But I've always had a sense of humor about myself.

To my mind, there are no unattractive women; only those who haven't been awakened by love . . . A woman is often like a strip of film-obliterated, insignificant-until a man puts the light behind her.

I realized that the studios didn't really understand their own system.

I always felt people who took themselves seriously were kind of boring.
