I sincerely believe I could have wounded up in a lot of trouble if I had not been taught as a boy to fear Hell, and to believe that certain wicked acts could lead me to damnation.

I travelled to California when I was 18 and went to Los Angeles State College.

When you're a guest star on TV shows - particularly in the 1960s - you're always the villain.

When you go on a movie set, there used to be one woman: script supervisor. Now they were in all capacities in addition to heading studios. So that's the biggest change of all from the early '50s, when I first started.

I've been obsessed with clothes since I was a little boy.

I'm still very close friends with his first wife, Neile, who is now remarried.

I don't see dramatic television because my wife is a political junkie, and we have 12 sets going night and day so she doesn't miss a word walking from room to room.
