People know I get along great with all kinds of directors, all kinds of actors. And I tell you, you hire me, I will show up, 24/7, and I will give you 100%. I will help you fix whatever problems come up. You hire me, I'm your boy. It's just, it's all about the work. And when that's done, I am done. View quote

BACALL: "I'm a total Democrat. I'm anti-Republican. And it's only fair that you know it. Even though..." KING: "Wait a minute. Are you a liberal?" BACALL: "I'm a liberal. The "L" word!" KING: "Egads!" BACALL: ... I love it. Being a liberal is the best thing on earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind... I'm total, total, total liberal and proud of it. And I think it's outrageous to say "The L word". I mean, excuse me. They should be damn lucky that they were liberals here. Liberals gave more to the population of the United States than any other group. View quote
