I'm one of those fellows so frightened of driving that I go 80 miles an hour - and the more frightened I get, the faster I go.

There are three intolerable things in life - cold coffee, lukewarm champagne, and overexcited women.

I prefer the old masters, by which I mean John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford.
