I loved Jack Ford. I got him in his later days, and he was a total tyrant and a total autocrat and an Irish drunk. But I had a great time.

Mankiewicz was a brilliant director.

I was never a part of the Actor's Studio, because two friends of mine started it in 1947 and by that time I'd gone to California.

John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.

There was something about Marilyn. She couldn't act her way out of a bag, but she became an icon because something happened between her and the lens, and no one knows what it is.

I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn't ride.

Many of my friends were blacklisted. America should be ashamed of it forever.
