There were days that I worked all the time, without a layoff, or a rest, finishing one picture and reporting for another sometimes on the same day.
For years it never occurred to me to question the judgment of those in charge at the studio.
Rehearsals and screening rooms are often unreliable because they can't provide the chemistry between an audience and what appears on the stage or screen.
there are many ways to fail. Some reject success. And others do not recognize it when success comes.
we Irish don't really need thousands of people surging behind a big brass band to have a parade. One guitar player and a few people whistling will do the job.
I had been introduced to psychotherapy, in which the doctors let you talk, talk, talk, until you find the source of your problem or find another doctor.
I needed to be accepted, not humored. I intended to act.

I loved to eat. For all of Hollywood's rewards, I was hungry for most of those 20 years.
