How can a guy climb trees, say "Me, Tarzan, you, Jane", and make a million? The public forgives my acting because they know I was an athlete. They know I wasn't make-believe.

The director sent for me for Tarzan. I climbed the tree and walked out on a limb. The next day I was told I was an actor

Swimming gave me my start, but my pal Tarzan did the real work. He set me up nicely.

With but few exceptions, it is always the underdog who wins through sheer willpower.

I could make good time because I was so long and skinny, shooting through the water like a stick.

I have always been vitally interested in physical conditioning. I have long believed that athletic competition among people and nations should replace violence and wars.

The main thing is not to let go of the vine.
