The most solitary I ever felt was when I was living in New York. I used to live in Enrico Caruso's old apartment, and I had a special staircase that took me up to the roof. There was nobody up there.

A young actor once asked me, What do you do between jobs? I said, Hobbies, hobbies, and more hobbies.

I'm a man without a corporation.

Everybody likes to win.

I'll keep on acting 'til they wipe the drool. I like the business. I like to do different parts and diverse characters. I haven't lost my enthusiasm yet!

High Noon is a pretty corny movie.

Seeing your name on the list for KP or guard duty when you're in the Army is like reading a bad review.
