I like people who are enthused about things they do, like travel, sports, work. I like being with people who have things they're excited about.

I never thought of myself as being that good looking, I was an actor, people saw me on television, and then they start to think you're good looking because of that presentation. I was no better looking before the show, than after - and before the TV show I couldn't get a date to save my life. So what changed? Did I suddenly become more good looking? No. I got lucky, I got a TV show. That's what happened.

Good work is good work wherever it's done, in a play, a motion picture or television, and that includes commercials

You do show after show after show and get them done and on the air. Television devours material. We work a minimum of 12, 14 hours, and often 15, 18 hours a day.

If I have a Sunday free, I'll go up the coast and spend some time on the beach. I scuba dive and swim and sail. A lot of the things I like are around the water.

If it seems like you're doing work when you're acting, then you're doing something wrong.

Intellectuals would be much more accepted now than in the '40s
