I'm really proud ofGunsmoke. We put on a good show every week-one that families could all watch together without offending anyone.

The scenes in the show were filmed with a crew of really excellent stunt jumpers, but we had the feel of the parachutes, so we could be more realistic in the roles.

In this business you break a leg and 150 other people are out of work while production is shut down. It's not like you were an accountant and could still work with your leg in a cast.

I really miss Gunsmoke. It was like losing my whole family.

I'd stop in the middle of a gun fight and sing a song.

I've thought about doing other dramatic roles besides westerns, but I grew up in the West and I know the West.

I joined Tommy Dorsey at the Paramount Theater in New York as a singer. I replaced Frank Sinatra.

Of course, western is my native music.

The only permission, the only validation, and the only opinion that matters in our quest for greatness is our own.

But my dear man, reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know.

Nor in the critic let the man be lost.

I think the future stopped looking American when you think back to Blade Runner and Neuromancer, when it started to look more Japanese.

I think the move by Mr. Greenspan was welcomed by everyone here.

It's a lot of fun finding a country that nobody knows about. The only thing better is finding a country everybody's bullish on and shorting it.

Testosterone should be a controlled substance.

Today, I will focus on what's right about me. I will give myself some of the caring I've extended to the world.

In a world where we can all be our own filmmakers, the old elites are disappearing and there is no desire to look at somebody else's dream anymore because you can go off and make your own.

The Church exists to connect people at the level of their hunger for a new world.
