Many of my friends were blacklisted. America should be ashamed of it forever.

Ford used to come to work in a big car with two Admiral's flags, on each side of the car. His assistant would be there with his accordion, playing, Hail to the Chief.

Gary Cooper was a good friend. He was a great nature lover. He was like an American Indian, he knew every leaf that was turned over. It was an education to go for a walk with him.

Hoods are good parts because they're always flashy and attract attention. If you've got any ability, you can use that as a stepping stone.

Cheyenne Autumn was received not too successfully. I still think it was a very good movie. It was kinda Ford's apology for the way he had treated Indians in his past pictures.

I think a performer should do his work and then shut up.

I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn't ride.

Marilyn was terrible to work with. I was fond of her, she was a nice girl, but she was a damaged girl. She was very difficult. You couldn't get her on the set; she didn't know the words.

There was something about Marilyn. She couldn't act her way out of a bag, but she became an icon because something happened between her and the lens, and no one knows what it is.

Death's a path we're all on, son

I loved Jack Ford. I got him in his later days, and he was a total tyrant and a total autocrat and an Irish drunk. But I had a great time.

The good news is that in every deck of fifty-two cards there are 2,598,960 possible hands. The bad news is that you are only going to be dealt one of them.

To be an investor you must be a believer in a better tomorrow.

Better to seek change by inspiration, than out of desperation.

On the Internet, everyone is writing. There is a great flowering of writing.

You're right. Everyone in this room with a pulse is starting to smell really good. Okay. Back in the box, better safe than sorry.

It should've been illegal for a man to walk around like that without some sort of permit.

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'

Ill never be as good an actor as I want to be....but I'll be good.

A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.

Can it be That modesty may more betray our sense Than woman's lightness? Having waste ground enough, Shall we desire to raze the sanctuary And pitch our evils there?
