“Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse.”

One of these days I might be able to contribute something to the world.

It is the best thing that can happen to an actor. I am one of the youngest to belong. If I can keep this up and nothing interferes with my progress

I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.

How can you measure acting in inches?

I think the one thing this picture shows that’s new is the psychological disproportion of the kids’ demands on the parents.

At times there seems to be a million ideas worth painting. However, there are days when it’s a challenge to pull any idea together.

I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.

My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.

If you’re not afraid, if you take everything you are, everything worthwhile in you and direct it at one goal, one ultimate mark, you’ve got to get there.

Being a good actor isn’t easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I’m done.

I have made great strides in my craft. After months of auditioning, I am very proud to announce that I am a member of the Actors Studio.

Remember: Life is short, break the rules

I’m not going to go through life with one arm tied behind my back.

But you can’t show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture.

I didn’t know what to do. How do you tell an eight-year-old boy his mother’s going to die? I tried. In my own stumbling way I tried to prepare Jim for it.

Remember: Life is short, break the rules (they were made to be broken) Forgive quickly, kiss slowly Love truly, laugh uncontrollably And never regret anything that makes you smile.

You are always in the process of creating. Every moment, every minute, every day. You are a big creation machine and you are turning out a new manifestation literally as fast as you can think.

You train your heart to control your body. That’s what you do when you fast.

Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.

Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested.

Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it.

I like to move fast, and wearing high heels was tough, and low heels with a skirt is unattractive. So pants took over.

The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.

Motivation is an inner force that compels behavior. Your inner drives will propel you further and faster than external perks.
