Find your mark, look the other fellow in the eye, and tell the truth.

There's not much to say about acting but this. Never settle back on your heels. Never relax. If you relax, the audience relaxes. And always mean everything you say.

Learn your lines… plant your feet… look the other actor in the eye… say the words… mean them.

You don't psych yourself up for these things, you do them... I'm acting for the audience, not for myself, and I do it as directly as I can.

Once a song and dance man, always a song and dance man. Those few words tell as much about me professionally as there is to tell.

I`m sick of carrying guns and beating up women.

I never had the slightest difficulty with a fellow actor. Not until One, Two, Three. In that picture, Horst Buchholz tried all sorts of scene-stealing didoes. I came close to knocking him on his ass.
