Of all the cowboys I worked with, Bob Steele was a favorite. Most other actors wanted the cameras on them at all times. Bob wasn't like that. He was always willing to let me get in front of the camera for a close-up. He would tell me, 'Nobody wants to see my ugly mug.'
What I thought about cowboy actors soon proved to be untrue. I'd heard they were a crude, rough-and-tumble bunch. But all the actors were perfect gentlemen. I never heard any swearing. I respected them, and they respected me.
[on the difference between working in films and on stage] In films, the regular directors would say, "Whenever you're ready, Miss Gray." On the stage, they'd yell, "Gray, get your ass in here!"
