#	Quote
1	No doubt about it, I was in another series---'King Row,' for Warner Brothers. It did nothing for me: in fact, it died after 13 weeks. But Wagon Train (1957) is the best thing that has happened to me. Fortunately, I held out against an exclusive contract. I'm able to do outside TV once a month. And I can do different things so I won't be typed as a Western actor.
2	[About a new series' lead who replaced 'Ward Bond (I)', whom he had a feuding relationship]: Twice last year, before Mr. Bond passed away, I suggested for parts in the show, I have long admired him as a talent; we work very much the same way.
3	[Regarding the future of Wagon Train (1957)]: I have one more season to go with Wagon Train (1957), and I have every intention of carrying out my contract. They asked me to sign on for another five years, but I won't do it. That makes me 10 years in 1 series-half my professional life. I can't see it.
4	I don't show my cars, I drive them. The two don't go together. My hobby is my cars, and they keep me very busy.
5	Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.
