She did the best that we could be; she was perfectly charming and perfectly loving. She was a dream. And she was the kind of dream that you remember when you wake up smiling.
By telling my own story, I hope to help remove the stigma. It never should be something to hide.
Happiness has a bad rap. People say it shouldn’t be your goal in life. Oh, yes it should.
Part of me is still waiting to grow up, to be an adult, and the other part knows there is no such thing.
Theater is completely different from film or television. It has a beginning and a middle and an end and it’s different every night. And it’s far preferable to any other except in the sense of not getting paid, people who want to eat should do film and television.
It is an obvious and blatant stupidity beyond my ability to articulate how dumb it is for us not to teach our children how to run the government.
The happiest I ever been was when I was a struggling actor. I’ve had big houses and small houses. I always had work available for most of my career. When I actually had to find jobs to make money, that’s when I was happy.
When you work in front of the people, either in a film or in television, the people who are in the room with you are not watching you work, they’re working so you’d have to light a fire to get them to watch what you were doing.
I didn’t understand 3-D in the fifties and I can’t say I get it now either. I just don’t see what the big deal is.
People who commit adultery must die. Everyone knows that. Any movie tells you that!
I’m nothing if not honest.
My worst fear is that I’ll end up living in some run-down duplex on Wilshire wearing pants hiked up to my nipples and muttering under my breath.
Wake up and live. It’s a fast world out there.
I said to my doctor, ‘You gotta testme, there’s something wrong with me that I would be behaving this way.’
I don’t know what its like for most actors, but really clearly for myself acting has always been the fulfillment of personal fantasies. It isn’t just art, its about being a person I’ve always wanted to be, or being in a situation, or being a hero.
It’s fun to see the light in someone’s eyes. It’s fun to give your own eccentric experience and have it land. That’s fun.
