In School, I Could Hear The Leaves

There's A Saying That We Use In Golf: "i'd Rather Be Lucky Than Good." Of Course, To Be Lucky And Good Is The Ideal. If You Study Hard, You Can Get Good. And If You Get Lucky And Get The Proper Parts For People To Be Able To Appreciate What You're Doing ... I'm Sure There Are Many Actors That Are Quite Talented Who Have Never Been A Success Because They've Never Had The Right Opportunity And The Right Material. My Mother Used To Think I Had A Guardian Angel.

I Am Not A Regret Type Person. I Don't Believe In Regrets. Lots Of Things You Would Do Differently If You'd Do It Again, But You Don't Do It Again, So You Don't Think About It. But That Goes For Life In General. You're Only Dealing With The Knowledge You Have At That Time.

I Do Believe In Self-help.

When I Used To Be A Contract Player In 1954 At Universal, I Wasn't Getting Good Roles. I Was Getting One-liners, And Then I'd Be Gone. But I'd Hang Around; I'd Watch Guys. And When I Had Days Off, Which Was Most Days, I'd Go Down And Watch Other Sets While They Were Shooting. Watch Joan Crawford Or Whomever. Just Watch How They Worked And How The Director Handled Them. I Didn't Know Anything About Making Movies, And There's A Lot To Learn.

A Lot Of People When They Retire, They Just Expire. It Happens To Men More Than Women. Women Usually Have Great Interest In The Family, Because The Family's Always Growing And They're Always Coming To The Rescue.
