People say I’m a one-note actor, but the way I figure it, those other guys are just looking for that one right note. Joel McCrea Read Quote
I turned down as many roles that I thought were beyond my abilities as I did ones I thought weren’t good enough. Joel McCrea Read Quote
My first business deal was with my mother. I invested in chickens. I sold the eggs to my mother. Joel McCrea Read Quote
I have no regrets, except perhaps one: I should have tried harder to be a better actor. Joel McCrea Read Quote
I don’t believe in anti-heroes. Duke Wayne played a mean guy but never an anti-hero. Joel McCrea Read Quote
I liked doing comedies, but as I got older I was better suited to do Westerns. Because I think it becomes unattractive for an older fellow trying to look young, falling in love with attractive girls in those kinds of situations. Joel McCrea Read Quote
I always felt so much more comfortable in the Western. The minute I got a horse and a hat and a pair of boots on, I felt easier. I didn’t feel like I was an actor anymore. I felt like I was the guy out there doing it. Joel McCrea Read Quote
