I enjoyed working at R.K.O. more than at M.G.M. At R.K.O., the parts were better!

I'd rather win a pennant than an Academy Award.

Let someone else be the world's greatest actress. I'll be the world's greatest baseball fan.

I think that Richard Nixon is a great man and that he is very dedicated to what he does. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I attended the Republican National Convention in Miami. You can really tell that he is willing to go out of his way to help the American people.

Baseball is not a lot of statistics to me. It's blood and tears.

M.G.M. never really gave me a break. They loaned me out for leading roles but cast me in programme pictures.
