I'll never make another Hardy picture . . . I'm fed up with these dopey, insipid parts. How long can a guy play a jerk kid? I'm 27 years old. I've been divorced once and separated from my second wife. I have two boys of my own. I spent almost two years in the army. It's time Judge Hardy went out and bought me a double-breasted suit.

And that's the way I have always lived, for the laughs – today. N-O-W. No Other Way.

I hear Jerry Falwell every Sunday here talking about the devil and Hollywood. . . . I'm gonna write him a letter. Hollywood wasn't built on filth and dirt - it was built on talent.

Clark Gable once said to me, "'Acting school?' [If you go,] I'll kill ya!"

I'm the only man in the world with a marriage licence made out to whom it may concern.

You always pass failure on the way to success.

God bless the universe, God bless Japanese, Chinese, Indians, all of them and let's have peace.
