"A cowboy actor needs two changes of expression - hat on and hat off." "I once asked Barbara Stanwyck the secret of acting. She said: 'Just be truthful - and if you can fake that you've got it made'." "Carole Lombard was a wonderful girl. Swore like a man. Other women try, but she really did." "The two films I did with Billy Wilder, 'Double Indemnity' and the 'The Apartment' are the only two parts I did in my entire career that required any acting."
