When the public doesn't want me any longer, I'll quit.
Clark Gable was the only real he-man I've ever known, of all the actors I've met.
I don't want a lot of strangers looking down at my wrinkles and my big fat belly when I'm dead.
Working with Marilyn Monroe on The Misfits (1961) nearly gave me a heart attack. I have never been happier when a film ended.
They see me as an ordinary guy, like a construction worker or the guy who delivers your piano
I hate a liar. Maybe because I'm such a good one myself, heh? Anyway, to find someone has told an out and out lie puts him on the other side of the fence from me for all time.
I bring to a role everything I am, was and hope to be.
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great, and they know I know it.
