I was an uncommonly unattractive young man.
Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.
I like stories with lots of psychology.
It's only a movie, and, after all, we're all grossly overpaid.
This award is meaningful because it comes from my fellow dealers in celluloid.
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
I'm not much into rear window ethics.
Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement.
The best actor is the man who can do nothing extremely well....
For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor.
I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.
Actually, I have no regard for money. Aside from its purchasing power, it's completely useless as far as I'm concerned.
There are several differences between a footballl game and a revolution. For one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. Also there are more injuries at a football game.
There are several differences between a football game and a revolution. For one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. Also, there are usually more casualties in a football game. The object of the game is to move a ball past the other team's goal line. This counts as six points. No points are given for lacerations, contusions, or abrasions, but then no points are deducted, either. Kicking is very important in football. In fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.
