The Joan Crawford that I’ve heard about in ‘Mommie Dearest’ is not the Joan Crawford I knew back when.
I was a shy, awkward sort of a boy and my fathers frequent absences from home, along with my hero worship for him, made me even shyer.
Be prepared to scramble right from the start.
The only club in the bag specifically designed to get the ball in the cup is the putter. Why not learn it first?
Jimmy Demaret and I had the best sports psychologist in the world. His name was Jack Daniels and he was waiting for us after every round.
If you go to a diner in the middle of America, people are having these conversations, but our politicians are too scared to bring it up because they’re worried about offending the 0.002 percent of the country that may somehow be subject to what the conversation may be. And it’s ridiculous.
When you have the opportunity to do something, you have to jump on it.
I think a lot of people see, obviously, the business side of my father. But, I mean, he’s just a great guy. We enjoyed the holidays so much. To be able to spend time with him when he’s not necessarily working or not doing the political thing, I mean, he’s much more of a blue collar American.
This country has had 200 years of hegemony over the rest of the world, and it feels like our politicians, they just want to give that back.
My father knows more about sports than any human being out there. He relaxes. The ribbing that we give each at the Christmas holidays is incredible. He’s much more of an ordinary American and a proper American than a lot people would probably ever believe.
I say that in jest a little bit, but Donald Trump is a blue collar guy with a balance sheet. That’s the way he likes to have fun.
My father is a straight- talking guy. He’s always been. He has a history of that in business as a personality for the last 35 years.
What Donald Trump is going to bring to the table. He’s going to bring straight, honest conversation and bring up topics that, while they may be sensitive, they have to be said.
You’ve already lost the battle if you’re afraid to fight.
I’ve worked with the great and the not-so-great. But mostly I’ve worked with men and women who loved their profession, and who like me, had kids to raise and houses to pay for.
I loved Allan Dwan. He was a tough old guy.
I was an expert horseman.
You can always tell a novice rider; they aren’t comfortable in the saddle and have to hang on.
I know how to create and make people feel something. Honestly, if I didn’t do this, I would just have some minimum-wage job in New Mexico, and I would go out on the weekends and make just enough money to pay my insurance and pay for a couple beers, and that would be it.
I was raised to believe in myself. I know I’m cool. I’m not trying to brag or say I’m the man or anything like that. I don’t lie or cheat, and I’m not mean to anybody. I treat people with respect.
