My Acting Technique Is To Look Up

One Night I Went Over To Get Some Dope From Some Hollywood Tough Guy. After I Left, My Son Scott, Who Was Only Fifteen, Went Over With A Baseball Bat To Kill Him. I Was Laughing Out Of One Eye And Crying Out Of The Other. I Thought, Who Am I Kidding?

Actors Have Bodyguards And Entourages Not Because Anybody Wants To Hurt Them - Who Would Want To Hurt An Actor? - But Because They Want To Get Recognized. God Forbid Someone Doesn't Recognize Them.

I'm Sort Of A Walter Mitty. I Got Fewer Brain Cells Than Most People, So When I Got Friendly With Cowboys, I Started Rodeoing. When I Was Calf-roping, There Was Something About The Dirt That Made Me Feel Clean.

I've Never Been Difficult To Anybody Or With Anybody On A Picture. Especially When You're In That Nice Status Of Hierarchy Of Actors And Actresses Who Get To Approve Directors. Because Once You Make That Choice, It's My Belief That The Director's Boss.

There's A Big Difference Between Wanting To Work And Having To Work. And I Had To Learn That The Hard Way. Now Money Is Very Important To Me, Because I Ain't Got It.
