Robert Blake - biography

“The majority of information I gave police was about my wife and her family, which is what they wanted.”

“I came to the conclusion that the very best thing for Rosie, from the time she was 2 weeks old, was for us to get married.”

“Don’t give it to the audience; leave it to the audience.”

“I was on the set when I was five years old with Spencer Tracy.  A lot of what I learned growing up in terms of artistry is very clean, very tidy, very organized.”

“I’m a human being, I’m not a machine.  I’m 72.  I’m dyslexic.”

“Right now, I’m worth a million dollars, and I owe Uncle Sam a million-and-a-half dollars, and I made a deal with him.  I said, ‘Uncle Sam, I’m going to pay you 25 grand a month.’”

“What are they going to do to me that they haven’t done already?  They took away my entire past.  They took away my entire future.  What’s left for them to take?”
