- [on working with Steve McQueen in Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958)] We were shooting on the back lot and he asked me if I'd like a ride back to the soundstage, on his motorcycle. So I certainly said, "Sure". I made a big mistake by getting on his motorcycle. We went all over that lot, and not at a slow pace! He didn't slow down--he was always on the cutting edge. We zoomed right up to the soundstage where the doors were closed. He had it arranged that someone inside would open them at the last minute; but I thought we were goners for sure. After that ride, I said, "Thank you"' and never rode with him again.
