I had always been a fatalist about my career. What was to be was to be.

Westerns are a type of picture which everybody can see and enjoy. Westerns always make money. And they always increase a star's fan following.

If career politicians had the solutions, we wouldn't be in the mess that we are.

I've always had to create my own markets and I've always been at a juncture in my career.

Frankly, I don't like publicity.

My retirement is both voluntary and involuntary. One reason, and this is voluntary, is the impact of television. All old movies are turning up on television, and frankly, making pictures doesn't interest me anymore. Another reason is that the film industry is in a declining state.
