I have always been adventurous and rather daring.
I read Superman comics when I was a kid.
So for Bullitt, I just put my black hat back on.
I travelled to California when I was 18 and went to Los Angeles State College.
The world's philosophers and theologians searched for answers to the same mysteries.
I was studying American politicians who were searching - allegedly - for American communists because it would put them on the front pages of the papers in their home towns.
I went to college with James Coburn and Steve McQueen was a very good friend.
You see, some non-Catholic friends of mine have questioned the depth of my faith because of the fact that I have a good education.
This would keep 98.5 percent of the budget from being held up by 1.5 percent of the budget.
All I did was basically play myself in the role of Napoleon Solo.
Of course, neither David or myself ever saw a penny from them; it was the early days of merchandising.
In the beginning, fear was the dominant motivating force.
For example, I tend to personally reward myself for specific acts of exceptional discipline.
Compared to today's salaries, our cut was minuscule but it was very good for the time.
