I'm What You Call A Depression Sailor.

I Don't Chart Out The Life Histories Of The People I Play. If I Did, I'd Be In Trouble. I Work With My Heart And My Head, And Naturally Emotions Follow.

I Call Myself A Character Actor All My Life. I've Done A Certain Amount As A Leading Man, But Character Actors In My Estimation - It's A Lost Art These Days.

I Don't Care Whether A Role Is 10 Minutes Long Or Two Hours. And I Don't Care Whether My Name Is Up There On Top, Either. Matter Of Fact, I'd Rather Have Someone Else Get Top Billing; Then If The Picture Bombs, He Gets The Blame, Not Me.

Three Quarters Of Producers Don't Even Know Who I Am. The Other Quarter Think I Am Dead.

If John Wayne Were Alive, He’d Be Rolling Over In His Grave!
