ADD QUOTES
- (about directing Have Gun, Will Travel) Richard Boone: When I direct a show, I'm pretty arbitrary. If I have a fault, it's that I see an end and go for it with all my energy; and if I'm bugged with people who don't see it or won't go for it, it looks as though I'm riding all over them.
  Edit Share Hide
- (about leaving role of Paladin) Richard Boone: Every time you go to the well, it's a little further down. It's sad, like seeing Sugar Ray Robinson after his best days are past. You wish he wouldn't fight any more, and you could just keep your memories.
