I longed to fly. I was paid in flying lessons and, by the time I was 13, I’d logged 100 hours at the controls. – Kent McCord
I’m interested in raw land and trees and fresh air and rivers and lots of animals around them. – Kent McCord
I noticed that almost everyone I went to college with has worked at something other than the subject they majored in. I guess that’ s one of the reasons for campus unrest. – Kent McCord
If I find what I like, maybe in about five years we’ll be able to afford to build a home in the country. – Kent McCord
I feel that education needs an overhaul – courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out. – Kent McCord
Meanwhile, Cynthia and I are busy fixing up a real old house that we just bought in Hollywood. With two children now, we just couldn’t live in our small rented home any longer. – Kent McCord
Friends, near or far, are important to us. All of ours have an awareness of other persons’ feelings, a courtesy that’s inevitable. When I find that consideration in a fan, I’m immediately impressed. – Kent McCord

True friendships don’t fade in Hollywood, as so many myths about show business would have you insist. – Kent McCord
I think children learn from example. I don’t believe in raising them in an authoritative atmosphere. – Kent McCord
I met Cynthia when I was 12, proposed at 16, became engaged at 17, married her at 19 and we had a baby when I was 20. If extra work could pay for a lot of diapers, that was for me. – Kent McCord
Whenever I get a free day, I drive up to some part of California that looks promising on the map. – Kent McCord
