I saw my wife at a pool, flipped over her, and 14 days later we were married.

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.

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.

An hour series is a killer. It's hard on you physically.

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.

I never finished the ninth grade.

I never wanted to be an actor. I got stuck in it and kind of liked what I was doing.

I'm working out every day. I'm in very good shape.

My goal has always been longevity. Not fame and fortune, just get a job and keep it.

Ronald Reagan wasn't qualified to be governor, let alone president.

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.

The only reason I'm an actor is that a lady pulled out of a parking space in front of a producer's office.

There's a lot of room for error with a wound in the rear. It's a wide target.

Too many actors have run for office. There's one difference between me and them: I know I'm not qualified.

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 have known more men destroyed by the desire to have wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots.

Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

When they were small and my wife really had no other responsibilities, except taking care of the family and all of us, it wasn't that big a deal. It was fun. Hey, we're going to Moscow. We're going to Italy. We're going to Toronto. We're going to New York.

Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.
