I'd come out of the army after five years as a medic. I was a medical administrator and we ran hospitals, and I was a Captain in the army at the end, in 1945.

I met my wife and, for the next ten years, we did no films at all. She did the first movie and then I did several after. My first movie was written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Kazan and was called Baby Doll.

I always end up being the evil one, and I wouldn't hurt a fly.

John Huston was a superb master. He knew how to make good films. I did three things with him. One is called Independence. It plays in Philadelphia, for free. It's been playing there for 25 years.

When I saw the movie, I said, I wish I had heard the music. I would have ridden the horse differently.

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.
