“I don’t care how small the parts are, as long as they’re good.”

I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then

I sit in a corner by myself and am tickled to death when someone comes over to talk to me.

It seems only reasonable that the people have a right to know virtually everything about the personality they are buying each time they put their money through the box office

It never happened to me and I never saw it happen to anyone else.

I’m shy and can’t for the life of me barge around and slap people on the back.

I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I’ll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.

I’m working myself to death.

Maybe I thought too much about picking up the money and not enough about the really good parts.

I have the face of an ageing choirboy and the build of an undernourished featherweight.

I’d rather be David Ladd’s father than Alan Ladd any day.

I tried for better roles over and over again.

I hear about stars being torn to pieces by fans.

I was a dummy in school.

My TV stays on ESPN all day long, I’m one of those. I don’t even listen to music in the car, all I listen to is sports talk.

We’re a long way from the embargo ending. Look at what just happened with the rollback of Obama’s Cuba policies. Two idiot congressmen convinced our idiot president to make it harder on Cubans on the island.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.

I take as a compliment. Long live equal rights.

Really living without clutter takes an iron will … This involves eternal watchfulness and that oldest and most relentless of the housewife’s occupations, picking up.

I’ve always believed in self, I’ve always believed that as long as I believe, nothing else matters. I just put that type of motivation and that type of energy into my music, and I’ve always had confidence in my music as well.

Strive for the Hereafter according to how long you shall remain there, and strive for this world according to how long you shall remain here.
