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.

It's confusing. I've had so many wives and so many children I don't know which house to go to first on Christmas.

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.

I don't pick the roles. Your agent gets a call for you and you go and they all get together, everybody has fun at the reading, and they say, "There's chemistry here." So that's how it happens.

You always pass failure on the way to success.

When I was 19 years old, I was the number one star of the world for two years. When I was 40, nobody wanted me.
