In '48 when I left Metro, I tried to go back to radio, but somehow just didn't do well at it.

Most actors are insecure enough already without having a director who adds to that.

This has taught me that being pleasant is always so much more productive, for I know well the rewards for being good-natured.

The way animals were and are abused appalls me to this very day.

Elisha Cook was a darling, and full of the devil. A wired - up little fellow who was always busy, busy, busy.

I'm 5 9, and there were two stars in my life who didn't mind that I was taller than they - George Raft and John Garfield.

I'd also say having Jack's son Chris living with us from his 13th year on helped in raising Rick.

This I regard as a classic example of my not being properly prepared for a part I very much wanted.

Some actresses seem to thrive on chaos, and I've often wondered if they felt they had to be that way in order to perform well?

I got to know Sterling Hayden fairly well. He was a quiet man, who got more complicated as the years went on.

But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work.

I'd been trying for all of the eight years we'd been married to have a child, and finally I did.
