Stardom equals freedom. It's the only equation that matters.

The person is being confrontational.

The Navajos have a saying they live by: 'A land where there is time enough and room enough.' I want that, too.

I really don't like to act. At the beginning, back in '51, I had to force myself to stick with it. I was real uncomfortable, real uncomfortable.

When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

I have difficulty putting words in peoples' mouths. The best dialogue is very, very thin dialogue; you let people improvise and then basically you record what they've improvised and then write it down.

I don't know why it (stardom) happened-but it's kinda nice. Maybe it's because I'm someone off the streets. Maybe people relate to me.
