I really miss Gunsmoke. It was like losing my whole family.

The scenes in the show were filmed with a crew of really excellent stunt jumpers, but we had the feel of the parachutes, so we could be more realistic in the roles.

In this business you break a leg and 150 other people are out of work while production is shut down. It's not like you were an accountant and could still work with your leg in a cast.

I'm really proud ofGunsmoke. We put on a good show every week-one that families could all watch together without offending anyone.

I'd stop in the middle of a gun fight and sing a song.

I've thought about doing other dramatic roles besides westerns, but I grew up in the West and I know the West.

I joined Tommy Dorsey at the Paramount Theater in New York as a singer. I replaced Frank Sinatra.

Of course, western is my native music.

Writing is my oxygen. Music is my carbon dioxide.

I have a 6-year-old niece who doesn't look like the majority of girls on the covers of magazines. I hope that by the time she's 16, the world will have changed.

When God talks to humans he doesn't want humans to hear his voice.

If there was any other place I would live, other than Miami, it would be California. It's beautiful. The weather is just gorgeous, I love being here, too.

I try to exercise as much as possible and eat healthy. But most importantly, I try to make sure that I'm near people who inspire me to be a better person.

The stronger the facts are there, you should achieve justice. You don't need to make sensationalized statements.

The essence of Keynesianism is its complete failure to conceive the role that saving and capital accumulation play in the improvement of economic conditions.

Nigel Mansell is the last person in the race apart from the five in front of him

I agree that comedy does a good job - and is often about - stepping over the line - Lenny Bruce, etc. - and that this is important for a lot of poets too. I guess I feel like there has to be depth.

Presumably man's spirit should be elevated if he can better review his shady past and analyze more completely and objectively his present problems.
