Anne Baxter was a very good actress, Donna Reid was great. You couldn't name an actress I wasn't crazy about.

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.

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

Other actors like to rehearse on film-they like 30 or 40 takes. When you get an actor like that, it becomes difficult for me because I'm ready to quit after number two.

Gary Cooper was a good friend. He was a great nature lover. He was like an American Indian, he knew every leaf that was turned over. It was an education to go for a walk with him.

Most movies are made today for teenage boys. Once in a while a good one comes along.

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.
