Oh, the Irish were building the railroads down through Mexico, through Chihuahua. They finished the railroads when they finished out in the West Coast, and they went down and put the trains into Mexico.
I have a son in Barcelona whom I am madly in love with.
And I had known Peter O'Toole before in London. And I'd liked him very much. And the thought of being in a picture with him was very challenging to me. And he was playing the starring role.
Bob Taylor and I playing brothers. And I was a Mexican bandit. And he was the sheriff of the town. And we loved each other. We loved each other very much.
I studied all about Gauguin. He was a banker. He was a banker who - he used to paint on Sundays. And one day he hated himself for painting on Sundays.
I lost my father was I 10 years old, and I always looked for a father. I missed my father very much.
No parent is there forever. So I won't be here forever with these kids.
There's no sense that you're there forever. No parent is there forever.

See how special you are? I serve you coffee in the parlor.
Will no man ever do something without a why, just like that, for the hell of it?
