Television is a real woman's medium... but what's disturbing is, still even in television, women have so little to do with what's going on behind the scenes.

I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom.
My father said there were two kinds of people in the world: givers and takers. The takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.
Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.

I was always made to work at a very early age. I finished school at 4 P.M. and by 5 P.M. I was working. It was seven days a week.
From a very early age, as far back as I can remember, I always played sports.
