I made over forty Westerns. I used to lie awake nights trying to think up new ways of getting on and off a horse. |
I was a warmonger. I was concerned about Americans being isolationists. |
I'm here to make good pictures. If I don't see it, I won't touch it. I may not make a good picture, but I still gotta believe in it! |
If anybody doubts my loyalty to my country, I'll punch him in the nose, and I don't care how old he is. |
It's a miserable life in Hollywood. You're up at five or six o'clock in the morning to be ready to start shooting at nine. |
It's eighty percent script and twenty percent you get great actors. There's nothing else to it. |
It's not over until your legs give out, kid. |
Stills belong in the lobby, not on the screen. |
The thrill I had looked forward to for so long just wasn't there. In the middle of war, amidst so much suffering and death Hollywood seemed far off and unimportant. |
