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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
