My mother, we were a very poor family. When I was a kid, we would be in our little room, and there would be a knock on the door almost every night with a hobo begging for food. Even though we didn't even have enough to eat, my mother always found something to give them.

With John Wayne, we argued all the time and we made four pictures.

I have one computer that my wife gave me. All I know how to do, and I do it every day, is play Spider Solitaire. And I don't have a cell phone.

Why can't a woman be more like a dog, huh? So sweet, loving, attentive.

Obey the voice within - it commands us to give of ourselves and help others. As long as we have the capacity to give, we are alive

I was living in a terrible time when people were being accused of being communists, and they attacked the movie industry, especially the writers. People couldn't work if they were on the blacklist. The studios banned them. It was the most onerous period in movie history. I don't think we have ever had a period so dark as that.

Life is like a B-picture script.
