I always felt and still feel that fairy tales have an emotional truth that is so deep that there are few things that really rival them. ↗

I would like to say that no man ever was given finer cooperation than that given me by President Truman. ↗

At the time it seriously troubled me, but in drafting me as Marshall Plan Administrator, President Truman did as great a favor for me as one man can do for another. It opened my eyes to many things of which I was totally unaware and it was the beginning of my real education. ↗

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me. ↗

Vanity is something that will only get in the way of doing your best work, and ultimately if you're truly vain you care more about your work than how you look in your work. I actually consider myself a pretty vain guy when it comes to that. ↗

I basically taught myself how to sing and play by copying records, and that's just how it was for me. I know that's true for a lot of budding musicians out there - that's the thing that gets them inspired, is trying to learn their favorite songs. I think it's a great way to teach yourself. ↗

I don't read music, which is a shame, actually, and I shouldn't even speak of it because it's embarrassing, but it's true. ↗
