"The abhorrence of society to the use of involuntary confessions does not turn alone on their inherent untrustworthiness.

-- Earl Warren

I said, "Couldn't you say I was your makeup artist?"”
“Ability is all right but if it is not backed up by honesty and public confidence you will never be a successful person. The best a man can do is to arrive at the top in his chosen profession. I have always maintained that one profession is deserving of as much honor as another provided it is honorable.”
