#Quote
1[on Gregg Barton] What a great guy he was, how much fun he was to work with. We had a lot of fun doing The Range Rider (1951) and Buffalo Bill, Jr. (1955). He was a good fight routine man. We had a lot of fun tearing the sets apart. He did all of his own fights. He was dependable. He didn't phony it up by looking back to where he was gonna go and staggering to it . . . getting down on one knee and then the next knee when he took a fall. He did it like a true athlete. He worked it out. When he was gonna go back over a table, he knew where the table was and he went over it just like you would actually do it.
2[about the song "When You Wish Upon A Star" from Pinocchio (1940)] Cliff Edwards' version is the best. A lot of really great singers have done that song, but no one has ever come close to his.
3[on first meeting Walt Disney in 1939] That's where he asked me the famous question: "Would you like to do the voice of Pinocchio?" And in my mind I'm thinking, "What the heck do you think I'm here for?" I didn't say that. I said: "Oh boy, oh boy, yeah, I really would. I really want to do that". I was acting.
4[Hoot Gibson's advice after seeing him as young rodeo rider] Hoot told my mother the famous words: "That kid ought to be in pictures". She said, "Whoopee!: and away we went to Hollywood.
