- I have no regrets, except perhaps one: I should have tried harder to be a better actor.
- People say I'm a one-note actor, but the way I figure it, those other guys are just looking for that one right note.
- After 87 pictures in 47 years, I knew when to quit.
- Cowboys are not beyond swearing, but we used it if a horse stepped on a foot.
- I don't believe in anti-heroes. John Wayne played a mean guy but never an anti-hero.
- [on Cecil B. DeMille] A lot of actors thought he was hammy, but they were hammy actors so they shouldn't have worried about it. And Coop [Gary Cooper] wasn't hammy. He liked the old man and I did too.
