Having to work hard never had any real appeal for me, and that may have some connection with me being in the movies.

People all say that I've had a bad break. But today... today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.

The only achievement I am really proud of is the friends I have made in this community.

I'm just glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling on his face and not Gary Cooper.

There ain't never a horse that never been rode there ain't never a rider that can't be thrown.

Until I came along all the leading men were handsome, but luckily they wrote a lot of stories about the fellow next door.

In Westerns you were permitted to kiss your horse but never your girl.

This is a terrible place to spend your life in. Nobody in Hollywood is normal. Absolutely nobody. And they have such a vicious attitude toward one another. They say much worse things about each other than outsiders say about them, and nobody has any real friends.

I looked it at like this way. To get folks to like you, as a screen player I mean, I figured you had to sort of be their ideal. I don't mean a handsome knight riding a white horse, but a fella who answered the description of a right guy.

No mistake, I shall regret the absence of your keen mind unfortunately, it is inseparable from an extremely disturbing body.
