A beautiful woman is the best investment in marriage a man can make. And anybody who advises otherwise is talking sheer nonsense.

They sent me the first 'Untouchables' script, for instance, and I'm glad I didn't do it. For one thing, it was practically a feature film, and for very little money. If I'd taken it, I'd have been faced with the job of turning them down on the series later.

I've had offers to do series on both radio and TV, but it s so much work and I'm lazy. I'd rather go fishing.

You'd think people would regard you as an actor and you could play anything. But with TV they regard you almost as a member of the family.

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'.

I was lucky enough to make four pictures with Barbara. In the first I turned her in, in the second I killed her, in the third I left her for another woman, and in the fourth I pushed her over a waterfall. The one thing all these pictures had in common was that I fell in love with Barbara Stanwyck - and I did, too.

I never went to acting school; when someone expounds on motivation and all that stuff, I don't understand it. I was just lucky to be able to do what I did. When I started, people said I was very natural, which I guess is difficult for a lot of people to be.

Sometimes a writer writes scenes for people who just say 'Hi' to indicate they're in love. I play those scenes very well.

I was a star before I got more than $250 a week. Carole Lombard advised me how to get a raise. She said: 'Go to Palm Springs and stay there until they raise the ante.' They were waiting to start a picture with me and I was scared they'd forget me for someone else, but they came after me.

I wanted a good humored kind of show, a show without violence. I liked the idea behind 'My Three Sons,' and I liked the people involved.

When we were doing 'My Three Sons,' I appeared in the movie 'The Apartment.' I played a married businessman who kept a mistress on the side and treated her rather poorly. It was a good movie and a good role, and I thought it would be fun. But you should have seen the letters of protest I got over that.

I'm really not that rich. I really don't know how I got the reputation of being so loaded. Maybe my business manager started it. But I always say that I'm just rich enough that I don't have to do a television series.
