screens
I've never played anyone but myself on screen.
fate cities democracy
We have allowed corporations to decide the fate of the cities. We hardly speak of democratic development.
differences one-day might
I can't frankly see much difference in the film industry at all. The only difference might be that they don't take as much time as they used to. For example, they'll do in one day what we used to take a week to do.

Nothing ever changes as far as Westerns are concerned. They are the same today as they were years ago.

William Holden and I weren't just good friends. He was my very best friend. I feel his loss very much still.
