I always made a living as an actor when I came to California. I never had to do anything else.

From nine on I was forced to camp every summer. Not a volunteer. I played with the wrong kids so they made me go to camp to straighten me out.

Track and field has always interested me.

If you are willing to expose your heart...being publicly private, you just may do something...
eye acting directors
In Hitchcocks eyes the movement was dramatic, not the acting. When he wanted the audience to be moved, he moved the camera. He was a subtle human being, and he was also the best director I have ever worked with.

There's no time in life to do all the roles I'd like to play.
