The characters I've played, especially Bret Maverick and Jim Rockford, almost never use a gun, and they always try to use their wits instead of their fists.
From James Garner
People who don't know me think I'm easy-going, but I'm a pessimist by nature and an old curmudgeon.
Everybody wants blockbusters. I like to see a few pictures now and then that have to do with people and have relationships, and that's what I want to do films about. I don't want to see these sci-fi movies, and I don't want to do one of those. I don't understand it.
I saw my wife at a pool, flipped over her, and 14 days later we were married.
When I started working, I didn't have a clue what I was doing, in that I was just wandering around, hoping that I could succeed. Then after I got a little under my belt, it took me about 25 years to feel like I knew what I was doing.
It wasn't until I'd turned 50 and had been in the business 25 years that I realized I might actually have a career as an actor.
I never wanted to be an actor. I got stuck in it and kind of liked what I was doing.
Too many actors have run for office. There's one difference between me and them: I know I'm not qualified.
In my opinion, Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't qualified to be governor of California.
Ronald Reagan wasn't qualified to be governor, let alone president.
