If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.

Most interviewers probe and pry into your personal life, and I just don’t like it. I respect everyone’s right to privacy, and I feel mine should be respected too.

Actually every time I stop to think about it, I’m really amazed. I think I’ve had an extraordinary life. And lots of times I can hardly believe it’s me.

Duel in the Sun 1946 dir. King Vidor Cast Jones Joseph Cotten

Beat the Devil 1953 dir. John Huston Starring Humphrey Bogart Jones
