I was a Depression kid, growing up in Oklahoma.
From James Garner
I think my attitude has always been to put food on the table.
I don't take success very well, because I know it's fleeting. And the next day, it can all fall apart. I know that, too. So I don't get too high, and I don't get too low. You get through the world a lot easier that way.
The only reason I'm an actor is that a lady pulled out of a parking space in front of a producer's office.
Acting is just common sense. It isn't hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote.
I never finished the ninth grade.
What was I qualified to do to make a living? Nothing. You don't need qualifications as an actor or a politician. And I didn't want to be a politician.
I've done a lot of casual work, and acting is a lot easier than laying carpets.
You can never have too many friends.
I've been on the wrong end of violence, and I've done violence myself... I refuse to glorify violence in my movie and television roles.
