An intellectual carrot - the mind boggles.

I had the privilege of working with so many great actors over the years.

I had a wonderful life and was blessed with so many loving people and great friends.

Chiropractic care is the only real, long-lasting relief that I have found for my neck pain due to an old injury.

I was the tallest guy in the school, and I was very conscious of being larger than anybody - classmates and teachers.

I was honored to have served in the Army for my country. I was at Anzio during WWII, and it makes you realize how very precious life is.

What made us different from other westerns was the fact that 'Gunsmoke' wasn't just action and a lot of shooting; they were character-study shows.

The kids don't really have any part of my television life. Fortunately, there aren't many times when show business intrudes on our family existence.

I watch television all the time, mostly PBS and old movies like 'The Quiet Man,' my favorite Wayne movie. It's marvelous. I just loved the man and still do.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ronald Reagan before he became Governor of California. He was a truly great human being and we usually spent our time together reminiscing about mutual friends.

I've got a little arthritis that I have to deal with. I was 6 feet 7 when I started, and I've shrunk up a little bit. I'm probably 6-5 or so now. But up here at 82, I feel pretty good. I'm sticking in there.

We had a great childhood and boyhood. It was a wonderful time through those years. A lot of it was through the Depression years, when things were tough, but my dad always had a job. But I had a great time. I was kind of restless, and I had a hard time staying in school all day, so me and a few pals would duck out and go out on these various adventures.
