The Postman Always Ringstwice.

My Father Was Totally Irish, And So I Went To Ireland Once. I Found It To Be Very Much Like New York, For It Was A Beautiful Country, And Both The Women And Men Were Good-looking.

My Childhood Was Surrounded By Trouble, Illness, And My Dad's Alcoholism, But As I Said, We Just Didn't Have The Time To Be Impressed By All Those Misfortunes. I Have An Idea That The Irish Possess A Built-in Don't-give-a-damn That Helps Them Through All The Stress.

Outside Of My Family, The Prime Concern Of My Life Has Been Nature And Its Order, And How We Have Been Savagely Altering That Order.

Find Your Mark, Look The Other Fellow In The Eye, And Tell The Truth.

Though I Soon Became Typecast In Hollywood As A Gangster And Hoodlum, I Was Originally A Dancer, An Irish Hoofer, Trained In Vaudeville Tap Dance. I Always Leapt At The Opportunity To Dance In Films Later On.
