You can't make anyone love you and you can't stop anyone from dying.

After my years in Hollywood, I got tired of apologizing for work that really wasn't mine to begin with.

There's really no such thing as an 'ex-cop' or a cop who's 'off-duty' or 'retired.' Once trained, once indoctrinated, a cop is always alert, assessing reality in terms of its potential for illegal acts.

I attended the University of Louisville my freshman year, transferred to what was then Western Kentucky State Teachers College for my sophomore and junior years, and then graduated from the University of Louisville in the summer of 1961.

There is no sound so terrible as a man's sorrow for his own death.
