Howard Keel's quotes
- [about his choice to go ahead with open heart surgery in January, 1986, despite the risk of losing his job on Dallas (1978)] There is always another part. But there is only one life!
- Any time you get in an area that takes a great deal of skill, you'll find that the tendrils are much more sensitive. People talk about actors being temperamental, but that sort of thing is everywhere.
- You should never envy anyone. One day you might be in that person's position and it might not be so nice.
- The only way to enjoy golf is to be a masochist. Go out and beat yourself to death.
- When I found out that I could carry a tune, well, I came to realize that I had a gift, that it was a kind of a blessing. And I think if you're given something special, you ought to try and give that something back. If you don't, it's a sin. No question.
- [about his work on Dallas (1978)][ I started out a long time ago, and now the younger generation knows who I am. My daughter is a part of that younger generation, and I owe it to her not to act like an old man.
- You get your ups and downs but you just don't fall apart. You take another shot at it.
- [about his job on Dallas (1978)] When I was offered the role of Farlow, I was thrilled. It meant I could be home every night with my family.
- [about retirement] I'm just having too much fun. As long as I can sing well, I'll keep at it. The minute I feel that the voice is getting down, the minute I feel that I can't cut the mustard, I'll quit.
- God has been kind. I haven't got any great talent but everyone has a certain amount and it's what you do with it that counts. I was blessed with a voice and I used it.
- [on Kathryn Grayson] She's a beautiful woman. A good friend. Fun to be around.
