I am such a notorious hermit - almost pathological. And, I'm not a hoarder. But that's just a symptom of things that I do feel.
I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.
I would take plays and I would cut out all the other dialogue and make long monologues because I felt the other kids weren't taking it as seriously as I did.
'Forrest Gump' is filled full of moments where your heart just cheers.
You try to get rid of the things that are weighing you down.
I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my work.
I haven't had an orthodox career.
I'm looking for a bunch of new tchotchkes that represent the new part of my life.
I did comedies for 10 years and I learned a great deal.
I really like cable T.V.
I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
Western Costume, and the old Universal wardrobe that is huge and they're getting rid of so much of it now, which is sad.
People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?
Don't you be afraid, sweetheart. Death is just a part of life, something we're all destined to do.
