- People at the studio think you don't have any feelings except those you exhibit in their offices, if they see you smiling, they're convinced you're happy all the time.
- In Hollywood, it's different. You know a lot of people - have numerous 'acquaintances' - and very few friends. And usually you must look for motives in friendships there. The general attitude underlying every relationship is 'What will this do for me?'
- Tay Garnett gave me one of my best breaks by letting me do the tough sailor in "Her Man." This was the hardest actual labor I've ever done in a studio - whatever athletic training I'd had in school stood my in good stead then - and I loved it. Also, it served to prove that I needn't always be the " juvenile love interest."
- My years with Paramount were pleasant ones. And when I left there and went to Metro, my hopes were high. I felt that while at the former I had been just one of many contract players, at the latter, because of Mr. Thalberg's expressed interest in me, I would have a chance to test my mettle. Unfortunately, just after I signed my Metro contract Mr. Thalberg became ill. He was away from the studio for many months, then finally went to Europe for a real rest.
- I haven't really been presented sympathetically to the fans. In 'Only the Brave' I had the role of the heavy, in 'Pointed Heels' a snob, and in ' The Devil's Holiday' a weakling.
