James Garner - biography

“My stepmother was a bitch.  She made us cut willow switches with which she’d beat us...  and made me wear a dress and called me Louise.”

“Everybody wants blockbusters.  I like to see a few pictures now and then that have to do with people and have relationships, and that’s what I want to do films about.  I don’t want to see these sci-fi movies, and I don’t want to do one of those.  I don’t understand it.”

“I’ve been kissin’ Audrey Hepburn all day and my pucker is tuckered.”

“I saw my wife at a pool, flipped over her, and 14 days later we were married.”

“When I started working, I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, in that I was just wandering around, hoping that I could succeed.  Then after I got a little under my belt, it took me about 25 years to feel like I knew what I was doing.”
