I'm a scamp. I don't deny it. I like myself.

I assume most of the characters I play are exactly like me.

I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.

I learned a long time ago in Hollywood that the only person I should vote for is myself.

Just let the wardrobe do the acting.

I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.

I wasn't a babe in the woods. I'd watched a lot of stars, from James Dean to Brando, and I'd seen everybody alive work at MGM. I had a certain old-timer's quality, even though I was young and new, and drew on what I believed before I made it.
